Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1804 - 560: Undermining the Foundation_2

Numerous defense weapons powered up, their energies building.

...

Within the central control room of the Star Destroyer·Praying Light, an operator nervously reported, "The main cannon of the Star Destroyer·Praying Light is charging. All 1-100W emission ports are loaded!"

"Thirty-five seconds until contact!"

...

Commander Misya took a deep breath and turned to Limi, saying, "Limi, it's up to you now!"

"Understood." Limi stepped onto the moving platform without a hint of hesitation.

Soon, the exit of the Praying Light opened. Limi, piloting the V Generation Mecha·Divine Grace, led her subordinates out to form an attack formation.

At this moment, many soldiers preparing for battle gazed at the distant Federation Defense Line with heavy hearts. They recalled times past when they once hid in mines with friends from the Federation, drinking and celebrating, gambling aboard ships, and performing plays together.... But now, they stood on the brink of armed confrontation, a fight to the death.

The communications channel was eerily silent.

Limi noticed the low morale among her subordinates and calmly addressed them, "Everyone, brace yourselves. As soldiers, we must uphold our duties and missions. No matter how painful the battle ahead may be, we cannot retreat, or they will mock us."

"Yes." The crowd responded in hushed tones.

Meanwhile, in defense area No. 5, Doser and others piloted their mechas, observing the approaching Heavenly Revelation Divine Country troops. Their fists were clenched, and conflicted, pained expressions crossed their faces, yet they had no other choice.

...

Inside the Thunder Extreme Central Control Room, Ankaga swallowed hard and said to Su Ming, "Boss, they will initiate combat in three minutes."

"I know." Su Ming frowned as he glanced at his bracelet. In truth, Su Ming felt more anxious than anyone at this moment. However, the issue was his lack of a reply from An Ruoxue, which prevented him from prematurely calling off Misya and the others. There was only one chance, and without substantial evidence to convince Misya, calling it off now would mean no further chances.

"Thirty seconds! Countdown!" Zhang Yixin's voice was tense.

Su Ming looked at his bracelet again, but still, no information arrived. Each tick of the clock felt like a steel needle piercing everyone's heart.

10. 9. 8... 3. 2. 1. 0.

As expected, the countdown reached zero. In the vast expanse of the starry sky, the main cannons of the Star Destroyer·Praying Light and numerous other ships erupted with dazzling brilliance. Countless emission ports opened.

Swish! A beam filled with destructive power, accompanied by a rain of beams and missiles, surged across the starry sky, striking the Nether Moon Star Defense Line. Simultaneously, the Star Destroyer·Star Hidden and other vessels, along with numerous defense weapons, unleashed their full firepower! A dense barrage of beams and missiles, like an unstoppable tidal wave, assaulted Commander Misya’s troops.

Booming~ Blazing explosions and countless fireworks lit up the void, as if venting the unyielding fury of both sides. The entire dark starry sky was illuminated. Ship after ship and defense weapon on both sides were lost in fiery bursts.

Following an initial volley, the Star Destroyer·Praying Light once again activated its array of launch ports. Swish swish! Round missiles were deployed. These missiles detonated in the starry sky ahead of the defense line, dispersing a massive amount of interference dust and creating a vast concealment zone.

"Follow me!" Limi personally led the mecha formation, charging towards the defense line under the cover of the dust.

Inside the Star Destroyer·Star Hidden Central Control Room, the operator reported to Xia Li, "The enemy has deployed large area interference smoke bombs; target lock is impossible!"

"Deploy mother-child bombs! Order Doser and his team to hold the line!" Admiral Xia Li responded swiftly.

"Understood!" The operator and others replied promptly.

...

The Star Hidden and numerous other ships launched mother-child bombs across a wide area. Countless mother-child bombs rained down into the concealment zone, triggering numerous flashes of light.

"Ah!"

"I've been hit!"

...

The public communication channel filled with chaotic sounds. Yet, even amidst the chaos, Limi courageously led the mecha formation through the fiery blockade towards defense area No. 5. At this juncture, Doser and his comrades, piloting their mechas, advanced to meet them, and a fierce battle commenced in the starry sky.

...

Inside the Thunder Extreme Central Control Room, Su Ming watched as both sides engaged in an intense crossfire, witnessing soldiers fall one after another. His heart ached. In essence, it was no different than fighting themselves, yet he was powerless to stop it now, only able to let out a sigh of helplessness.

"Sigh!"

...

Defense area sector two.

The Star Destroyer Holy Sleep spearheaded countless fleets, unleashing a relentless assault upon defense line number two.

A dense curtain of beams and missiles descended upon the defense line, akin to a furious tempest.

Qianluo and her allies retaliated with equal ferocity, unleashing their utmost firepower. An innumerable quantity of beams, fused with colossal nuclear bombs, stormed towards Edrigge Vice Patriarch’s forces like a deluge.

BOOM!

The heavens erupted in dazzling sunbursts and fiery spectacles.

Edrigge Vice Patriarch’s vanguard units sustained immediate, grievous casualties, their attacking momentum abruptly checked.

The Star Destroyer Holy Sleep, too, absorbed multiple nuclear strikes, its energy shield visibly faltering.

Within the central command chamber.

A crimson warning alert materialized on the operational display.

"Warning: Energy Barrier Strength has dropped by 37%!"

"Lord Edrigge, the enemy’s offensive might is overwhelming!"

Hoffrey stammered, his voice laced with anxiety.

"These scoundrels comprehend only the brute force of wealth, what other tactics do they possess? Relay my command for the mecha phalanx to advance, and direct all vessels to provide long-range artillery cover!"

Vice Patriarch Edrigge gestured dismissively, conveying his directive to Hoff rey.
