Chapter 289 Upgraded Corruptor

"All personnel, turn off your helmets and enter wartime status." As the alarm sounded on the radio, the crews of each warship put on their helmets and fixed themselves in place with magnetic boots.

Then, the fleet's originally tight formation dispersed, and the warships of both sides rushed towards each other.

"There are ten minutes left to enter our range! All warships are ready!"

"Five minutes left!"

"Enter our range, all warships open fire!" Li Mingze ordered loudly after seeing the red circle representing the range of his fleet in the hologram encircling the Corruptor warship.

A full 60 million mass-accelerated shells flew towards the Corruptor fleet like a wall.

Seeing the oncoming shells, the Corruptor fleet did not panic. Many Corruptor frigates made way for the hammer-type destroyers behind them to push forward.

Countless hammer-type destroyers were densely packed into a huge shield wall. The hull, which was several times larger than the Corruptor frigate, blocked the remaining Corruptor frigates and flagships behind them.

The mass-accelerated shells that had already flown hit the huge shield wall formed by the Corruptor destroyers like raindrops, and then exploded to form a powder mist composed of pieces of shell fragments.

A few minutes later, as the Corruptor fleet advanced, the powder mist covering the Corruptor fleet dispersed, revealing the damaged shield wall.

"The effect is very good, the supply ship is replenishing! Prepare for the next salvo!" Li Mingze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the damaged shield wall of the Corruptor fleet. It seemed that the shield wall was not as strong as he expected, which scared him.

One by one, the ammunition supply ships flew out from the rear of the fleet, flew to the warships and began to dismantle the shell storm launchers that had been fired.

At this time, the Corruptor destroyers that originally formed the shield wall dispersed one after another, revealing the Corruptor frigates behind them.

"Huh? What's going on?" Li Mingze looked at the Corruptor fleet's extraordinary behavior and couldn't help but be confused.

"Your Majesty, a large number of unusual energy fluctuations have been detected in the Corruptor fleet!" Tianyi suddenly reminded.

"Lei Ming, Yi Yun, Wang Rongtao! Lead your fleets to disperse and perform irregular maneuvers immediately!" Li Mingze seemed to have suddenly thought of something, picked up the intercom and shouted.

As soon as the warships of the four imperial fleets dispersed, more than 10 million round shells flew out of the hole in the bow of the Corruptor frigate, carrying the force of thunder and lightning and shooting towards the imperial fleet.

"Damn it, I knew it!" Li Mingze slammed the console hard and ordered the warship driver to control the dreadnought to start evasive action.

But it was obviously too late. The imperial fleet, which did not start to accelerate in advance but was constantly retreating, was caught off guard by the Corruptor's attack.

No one expected that the Corruptor warship, which specializes in close combat, would evolve long-range weapons for its warships!

One by one, the shells flying out of the Corruptor fleet hit the shield of the imperial fleet fiercely, causing ripples.

Although the shield of the imperial fleet is much stronger than that of the Corruptor, it cannot withstand the attack of more than 10 million aimed shells.

The Corruptor's unexpected attack hit rate reached an astonishing 70%! That means as many as 9 million shells hit the Empire's warships.

Looking at the flashing shield of the dreadnought in front of him, Li Mingze felt the muscles on his face twitching constantly.

"Report the damage quickly!" Li Mingze shouted hurriedly when he saw the ripples outside the dreadnought disappear.

"Your Majesty, in the previous wave of attacks, the Empire's First Fleet lost 2 battleships, 12 cruisers, and 431 arsenal destroyers!"

"The Second Fleet lost 3 battleships, 11 cruisers, and 354 arsenal destroyers!"

"The Third Fleet lost 4 battleships, 10 cruisers, and 512 arsenal destroyers!"

"The Imperial Guards lost 2 battleships, 13 cruisers, and 327 arsenal destroyers!"

"We suffered heavy losses!" Tianyi's face showed a sad expression.

"How long will it take for the dreadnought's main gun to charge?" Li Mingze said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the main gun of the dreadnought will only take ten minutes to charge!" Tianyi returned.

"All warships fire!" Li Mingze gritted his teeth and waved his hand.

More than 50 million mass accelerators flew towards the Corruptor fleet again. The Corruptor fleet, which had lost its shield wall, saw that the Empire fired another volley, and simply continued to move forward, using the damaged destroyer in front to block this attack.

As long as they are given another thirteen minutes of charging time, the second wave of electromagnetic guns can be fired again! At that time, a large number of Imperial warships can be sunk.

After this wave of shells took away more than 100,000 Corruptor destroyers, the Corruptor fleet did not stop at all. The warships behind directly knocked away the wreckage of the Corruptor destroyer in front of them and continued to rush towards the Imperial fleet.

The Imperial fleet, which had already fired all its shells, could only stare and wait for the ammunition supply ship to refill the launcher on the warship.

Ten minutes passed slowly, and every second of these ten minutes was torture. Li Mingze could only watch the fleet of the Corruptors approaching quickly, while his own fleet could not make any moves.

"Your Majesty, the main gun of the dreadnought is about to be fully charged!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1! The main gun is fully charged!" As the officer shouted, the main gun firing panel in front of Li Mingze turned green.

"Aim at the center of the Corruptor fleet and fire!" As Tianyi put the center point of the Corruptor fleet into the sight, Li Mingze pressed the launch button heavily.

Amid the sound of mechanical operation, the heavy armor in the middle of the bow of the dreadnought slowly opened to both sides.

As the piercing alarm sounded in the warship, a huge muzzle with two launchers with trapezoidal cross-sections stacked on top of each other stretched out from the dreadnought with the help of a mechanical arm.

The one-kilometer-long barrel only accounted for the tip of the iceberg of its volume. In the belly of the Michigan dreadnought, there was also a main gun body that was three kilometers long, one kilometer wide, and one kilometer high.

As a flash of electric light flashed on the barrel, red electric light lines appeared on the barrel wall, and small red dots of light appeared around the muzzle.

Located in the center of the main gun body in the dreadnought, a red sphere was wrapped in a magnetic field and sent to the center of the launcher.

The launch mechanism composed of thousands of circular accelerators also began to rotate non-stop. As the red ball was pushed into the accelerator, a dazzling red light shot out from the main gun body. After being accelerated and strengthened by the one-kilometer-long barrel, a huge red light ball rushed towards the Corruptor fleet from the muzzle of the dreadnought's main gun.

The Corruptor commander looked at the red light ball and had a bad premonition, but he was helpless against it now.
