Chapter 321 Countdown to the Fall of the Defense Line

"Follow us! Kill them!" Seeing the two dreadnoughts of the Empire leap into hyperspace, the commanders of the two Corruptor fleets said angrily. They were already blinded by anger at this time.

"No, sir. We are affected by the gravity well generated by the huge sphere and cannot jump!" The Corruptor officer in charge of the jump said frustratedly.

"Drive forward until we can jump into hyperspace!" The Corruptor commander sighed. If the Imperial Fleet was given enough reaction time, he was worried that the Imperial Fleet would set a trap on the other side.

But now they can't jump into hyperspace, and it is even more impossible to give up the encirclement of the two Imperial Dreadnoughts.

Unlike the two Imperial Dreadnoughts that achieved amazing results, the Empire's newly built space fortress, which is located on the only way from the Corruptor star field to the Imperial star field, is in a bitter battle.

The Corruptor Expeditionary Fleet, composed of five fleets, the Fourth Fleet, the Fifth Fleet, and the Eighth Fleet, arrived in front of the Imperial Space Fortress.

Although the fortress group has withstood the first round of salvos from the Corruptor Expeditionary Fleet with its thick shields.

However, the bottomed-out shield reserve indicates that if the Corruptor Expeditionary Fleet fires another salvo, the Empire's fortress group may lose the protection of the shield and be directly exposed to the Corruptor's shells.

Seizing the time when the Corruptor warship's main gun is charging (there is no secondary gun, only one main gun), the Empire's space fortress fired wildly at the Corruptor fleet, completely ignoring the loss of weapons.

This high-intensity, uncooled shooting greatly reduces the service life of the weapon, even less than one percent of the design life, but so what.

Who knows if these weapons will still be used after the next round of salvos from the Corruptor fleet? Maybe by then the fortress group will have been destroyed.

While the fixed turrets on the fortress were firing wildly, the staff in the fortress had already boarded the evacuation spacecraft and flew to the next fortress group.

These fortress groups are the Empire's defense lines one after another, and the Corruptor is already attacking the Empire's first temporary defense line.

Behind the first line of defense is the second line of defense, which took longer to build and is more complete.

And behind the second line of defense is the third line of defense, which took the longest time to build and consumed the most resources. It is also the last line of defense of the empire. It is also the location of the material transmission transfer station.

If this third line of defense is breached, it will not only mean that the empire's homeland is like a piece of fat meat placed in front of a hungry wolf, but also that the imperial fleet deep in the territory of the Corruptor will lose its supply capacity.

Without the supply capacity, the survival materials of the imperial expeditionary fleet can only last for three years, and the ammunition can only support two medium-intensity battles.

It can be said that the fall of the last line of defense represents the victory or failure of the empire in this war.

"Your Majesty, the fleet of the Corruptor has reached our first line of defense. Although the fortress of the first line of defense has tried its best to resist, the strength of the Corruptor expeditionary fleet is too strong."

"Our first line of defense can only last for one more day at most." Tianyi came to Li Mingze with a somewhat ugly face.

"The first line of defense can still hold out for one day. It takes six days to reach the second line of defense. How long can the second line of defense hold out?" Li Mingze's face also looked a little ugly.

"The number of fortresses in our second line of defense is twice that of the first line of defense. In addition to the Corruptor warships destroyed by the first line of defense, the second line of defense can hold out for a little more than two days." Tianyi closed his eyes and calculated for half a second and replied.

"Two days for the second line of defense plus the previous seven days, this is nine days, and the journey from the second line of defense to the third line of defense also takes six days! How long can our third line of defense hold out?" Li Mingze's face was a little dark.

"Our third line of defense is the most complete, with the largest number of fortresses, and is also equipped with fighter jets and unmanned turrets, but even so, it can only hold out for four days at most." Tianyi shook his head.

"The four days for the third line of defense plus the previous fifteen days, we have nineteen days, and it takes nearly twenty days for the third line of defense to reach the imperial star field."

"That means we only have thirty-nine days at most! And the best time is nineteen days." Li Mingze frowned with his eyes closed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but it will take us fifteen days to reach the capital circle of the Corruptors from our current position, and this is without any battle on the way!" Tianyi nodded.

"We continue to circle around with the two encirclement and suppression fleets of the Corruptors, and order the second squadron to advance at full speed immediately and break into the capital circle of the Corruptors!" Li Mingze ordered Tianyi.

Tianyi nodded, controlled the dreadnought to jump out of the hyperspace, and flew in another direction.

At this time, there were still eighteen days left before the third line of defense fell.

The fleet of the second squadron of the empire was accelerating through the blind spot marked by Liss and flew towards the capital star system of the Corruptor civilization.

Although Liss wanted to use the Corruptor's siege fleet to weaken the strength of the Imperial Fleet, he did not want to kill the Imperial Fleet, so the route he gave was still quite reliable.

The Second Division Fleet did not encounter any manned administrative planets or space fortresses along the way.

On the other side, the two Imperial Dreadnoughts began to circle with the two siege fleets that followed closely.

Because of the fear of exposing another fleet on the way, Li Mingze ordered the two fleets not to open fire, but to run away, and not to kill even a chicken along the way.

Only by giving the Corruptor's capital a surprise suddenly can the effect Li Mingze wants be achieved.

There are still twelve days left before the third line of defense is destroyed.

The Corruptor's expeditionary fleet has easily destroyed the fortress group of the Empire's first line of defense and came to the outside of the second line of defense.

Although this line of defense has more than twice as many space fortresses as the first line of defense, this is not a problem for the Corruptor's expeditionary fleet with an extremely large number.

You have more fortresses, and our fleet has more warships. If you can't compete with us in quality, we will compete in quantity. This is the Corruptor's tactics.

No matter how many imperial fortresses there are, the countless Corruptor warships can surround the imperial fortresses in all directions.

Attack the imperial fortress group 360 degrees without dead ends.

The surrounded Imperial fortress could only randomly fire in all directions. Anyway, the surrounding areas were densely packed with Corruptor warships, and a random sweep would kill several of them, and no shot would miss.

Similarly, the destructive power of a large number of Corruptor warships was also very considerable.
