Chapter 529: Colony in Flames

Li Mingze, who had just driven back to his residence, received a message from Tianyi.

Helplessly, he could only ask his counselor and teachers for a month's vacation overnight, and then boarded a small spaceship composed of ten guard robots to fly to Dunshenghua.

Six days later, Li Mingze returned to the empire through the space-time channel.

As soon as he returned to the empire, Li Mingze switched his consciousness back to his body in the palace.

"Your Majesty, you are finally back." Eva said, wiping the dormant fluid on Li Mingze's body with a towel and helping Li Mingze up.

"Has our empire been attacked?" Li Mingze frowned and put on the clothes Eva handed him.

"Yes, an unknown civilization hidden in the Milky Way suddenly declared war on us."

"We are unprepared for this war. Now the Empire's first, second, third fleets and alien fleets have all rushed to the battlefield."

"But even so, the situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable to us. We don't know where the other side's base camp is, let alone how many fleets they have." Eva sighed and shook her head.

"Didn't we find any signs of activity from this civilization before?" Li Mingze stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows.

"The appearance of this civilization was very abrupt. We did not receive any warning, and the various adventure teams did not discover the existence of this civilization." Eva shook her head.

"Increase military investment in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way. Transfer all fleets except the guard fleet to the Perseus Arm. The star fortress is also ready to go at any time!" Li Mingze snorted coldly and walked towards the office.

And at this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded in the palace.

"What happened?" Li Mingze asked while speeding up his pace.

"Report to Your Majesty, just now the unknown civilization launched a full-line attack on us, and all the defense lines we built around the colony in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way were attacked by the enemy!"

"The enemy's offensive is very swift, and the combat effectiveness of both sides is basically the same. Now we are in a tense battle." Tianyi's figure appeared beside Li Mingze.

"Send the Royal Guard Fleet of the Ring World! Continue to send reinforcements to the front line, and all construction ships are transferred to build space fortresses and fortresses." Li Mingze waved his hand in the air, and a star map appeared in the air.

As he enlarged the star map, he saw that the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way was full of small dots flashing red, and these small dots were the imperial troops under attack.

"Also, order all member states of the Galactic Alliance to enter a state of war and serve this war unconditionally!" Li Mingze looked at the star map and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir." Tianyi's figure disappeared.

……………………

In the orbit of an imperial colony star outside the Perseus Arm, a fleet of more than a thousand retro warships with some Gothic style appeared outside the orbit.

The shrill air defense alarm sounded over the city of this colony star, and anti-aircraft turrets rose from the ground, with thick gun barrels shaking and pointing to the sky.

People in the colony city ran out of their homes quickly and ran to the shelter leading to the basement.

The space station in the orbit of the colony star was even more shrouded in the dark cloud of death.

The staff in the space station certainly recognized the origin of these warships. From their appearance, it can be seen that they are fleets of unknown civilizations that are at war with the empire.

Although it is unknown how this fleet passed through the defense line formed by the imperial fleet, there is no doubt that they are definitely not coming with good intentions.

Although the space station under their feet also has defensive weapons, it is definitely not enough compared to these thousands of warships of unknown civilizations. The combat effectiveness of the two sides is a world of difference!

"All personnel immediately evacuate on the escape ship. From now on, abandon this space station!" The person in charge of the space station ordered his subordinates.

"Sir, there are still one million colonists behind us!" An employee suddenly stopped and shouted to the person in charge.

"What can we do? Resistance will only bring unnecessary casualties, and the enemy may not necessarily destroy the civilian facilities of the colony. It would be the most terrible if we angered them." The person in charge shook his head and turned to get into the escape ship.

A few minutes later, ten escape ships flew out of the space station and jumped into hyperspace.

At this time, the ground command center discovered that it could not contact the space station in orbit.

In an instant, the soldiers on the ground knew that they were abandoned by the people in the first line of defense space station.

"This matter has been reported directly to the Imperial Military Department. This group of cowards ran away, but we will not run away. We will stay and fight the enemy until the last drop of blood is shed!" The commander of the ground force raised his weapon and shouted.

"Fight to the end!" The soldiers also raised their weapons.

However, what these soldiers did not know was that the fleet in orbit did not intend to engage in ground combat at all.

After the fleet entered the orbit of the planet, the hatches at the bottom of the warships suddenly opened, and heavy earth-penetrating bombs flew out from the bottom of the warships, flying rapidly towards the ground under the action of gravity.

"Sir, the enemy has deployed a large number of weapons, too many for us to intercept!" In the command center on the ground, many soldiers looked at the dense red signs on the screen and closed their eyes in despair.

"Long live the Empire!" The commander also knew that he and his men could not escape this disaster. He placed his rifle on the ground and looked up at the starry sky above his head.

One after another, the earth-penetrating bombs kept spinning in the air, and the yellow light produced by the friction with the air illuminated the sky. The originally dark world ushered in a ray of light, but this ray of light brought the fire of destruction.

With a heavy sound of hitting the ground, tens of thousands of earth-penetrating bombs drilled into the ground below.

In just a few seconds, huge earth "bubbles" hundreds of meters high rose on the ground, and then the earth bubbles broke into pieces of gravel, and endless flames gushed out of them. The entire plain where the colonial city was located was wiped out by these bombs.

The boundless flames engulfed the building where the command center was located, and the buildings in the city were annihilated in the flames. Millions of citizens of the empire disappeared from this world with the city without knowing it.

When the flames dissipated, there were only deep pits and gravel on the ground where the city was originally located. All the plants on the plain disappeared, and the whole world became dead silent.

After seeing that the plain had been completely destroyed, the fleet of the unknown civilization closed the bottom armor again and turned to fly towards the next target.
