Chapter 170: The Celestial Bodies Descend
……
The celestial engine has descended.
In the planetary structure, Gray and Yaoen stand in a vast space that functions as a bridge, looking at holograms.
As the Celestial Engine's satellite structure rotates, it constantly emits detection waves that spread throughout the galaxy, transmitting the entire galaxy to the super-large holographic projection device.
The crew traveled around the bridge on a hovertrain, sending the various structures and weapons of the Celestial Engines to the departments that needed to know the information.
The intelligence or the stone man can do this job, but it is now using its computing power for more important things.
"Report to the marshal, the army is ready."
"The weapon array and shields are in good working order."
"The celestial engine has entered the orbit of the star."
“……”
All sorts of messages were sent to Gray.
Gray was placed as the marshal in this battle, and even though he didn't know where the people he was fighting were coming from, he could realize that he was nothing compared to the wargang leaders who had been fighting for thousands of years.
But people like him are the people who have the most actual combat experience in the Tyrone galaxy and have conducted the most virtual war training.
Fortunately, Gray knew that some kind of existence that kept the celestial engines running would calculate the best war strategy, and the others would just have to carry it out.
The regimental commander-level officers who arrived by train one after another gathered next to the hologram, and the war officially began when all the more than 1,000 regimental commanders arrived.
"Obviously, we can't just send the Army to the surface of the Casting World, at least not until we take control of the orbit." Gray stared at the auto-generated strategic plan next to the hologram.
The others nodded and continued to stare at the hologram.
Fleets throughout the galaxy noticed the sudden appearance of the Celestial Engine, and since the Celestial Engine did not attack immediately, the enemy fleet began to make bold attempts to attack actively.
Entrenched in the Forge World orbit, the fleet fires as it sails towards the Celestial Engine, then maintains its maximum firing range and concentrates fire when the first ship is gravitationally drawn towards the Celestial Engine.
The firepower of more than two hundred warships, large and small, looks truly spectacular.
Countless torpedoes, large guns, light spears, and a variety of bizarre ship-based weapons, these strange weapons carry out very supernatural attacks.
The large mouth of flesh attached to the ship's perimeter spews out a plague virus, unleashing psionic lightning...... In short, each has its own magical powers.
When a massive number of attacks swept towards the Celestial Engine, a satellite was accelerated, blocking between the Celestial Engine's planetary structure and the fleet, withstanding most of the light spear and macro cannon fire with its shield, and those psionic attacks such as lightning disappeared before even the shield could hit the halfway point.
A small number of attacks that are not fended off by the shield of the satellite structure are hit by the shield of the planetary structure, but the shield of the planetary structure is stronger, and a small number of attacks will not help it at all.
The torpedoes followed, and the satellite's close-in defense array unleashed a net of fire that could be seen on any planet in the galaxy to intercept all the torpedoes.
After a wave of attack, the celestial engines continued to function as usual, accelerating in orbit around the star, while two metal satellites turned the side loaded with weapons arrays towards the fleet.
"Why didn't they leave?" Yao Eun asked in confusion. Think about it from another perspective, if you are the leader of an enemy fleet, then the first sight of the celestial engine will be gone.
Battleships and defensive platforms are still at a loss against the bombardment...... Hasn't the enemy seen the array of charged weapons on the satellite?
At this point, the weapon array began to charge, and the massive amount of light condensed from the particle light spear launchers and various other super heavy turrets made the satellite structure look as dazzling as a light bulb.
"The enemy must have a reason not to evacuate." Gray frowned and pondered for a moment, probably able to guess why the enemy fleet didn't evacuate, "I estimate that all their ground forces have been dropped, for example, if our Praetorian Guard is all fighting on the same planet, at this time, the own fleet in the void finds that the enemy's fleet is very strong, they may throw us away and withdraw immediately?" I'll have to try to maneuver a little. ”
Yao En thought about it after hearing this, and felt that this was the truth.
From a rational point of view, it should be withdrawn immediately, but who can be rational forever.
As we talked, arrays of weapons on the satellites began to fire in a salvo.
Countless particles and live ammunition, as well as newly developed arcs and other weapons, all hit enemy ships directly.
A spear of light hit the Void Shield and was deflected, but more spears of light followed, and the frigate's Void Shield couldn't hold up for even a second, and the hull was pierced by the spear of light in the moment of overload.
The arc of electricity jumped back and forth between ships, like an electric fish in a river, and the ships without the Void Shield were electrocuted in pieces, and those with the Void Shield could barely hold on.
One satellite sped behind the planet after firing, and another satellite circled around and opened fire as soon as most of the weapon array reached a hitable angle, another devastating attack covering the enemy fleet.
After the two rounds of blows, a report appeared on the hologram.
End of shooting.
Efficiency Rating: Poor.
Gray raised an eyebrow at the report, and when he thought about it, it was really not very efficient.
Since the enemy ships did not have time to adjust from orbital bombing formations to battle formations, and were not far from each other, the first wave of attacks destroyed a large number of ships in front of the fleet, but the second wave of attacks that followed mostly hit the wreckage, and the light spears pierced through a section of the abandoned hull, and only hit the ships further back after being cut in power.
However, this efficiency rating also depends on who it is compared to.
Two rounds of attacks by an array of weapons on two satellites annihilated about forty percent of the enemy fleet's warships.
In this kind of void warfare between the Celestial Engine and the fleet, there is no point in calculating the loss of a single hull, and the battle loss can only be calculated by taking the fleet as a whole.
As the Celestial Engine continues to accelerate around the star, the weapon arrays on the two moons begin to recharge, and the Nighttimeholder fragments trapped in the core of the Celestial Engine's planetary structure must be recharged in addition to the energy normally consumed by the Celestial Engine...... It's simply extraction.
It's a pity that the Nightworm Fragment is locked up in a hypercube labyrinth, otherwise the entire galaxy would have heard its screams.
The Celestial Engine is getting closer and closer to the casting world, and to those fleets.
The weapon array is still not fully charged, but another weapon is waiting to be used.
Teleporters deliver a large number of bombs stored in the Celestial Engine Planetary Structure Warehouse to the location of the enemy fleet.
Because there were so many bombs that it was impossible to calculate to be accurate to each bomb, the error of this transmission was relatively large, but there were still more than a dozen enemy ships superimposed with the bombs.
