Chapter 559: Behind Enemy Lines
Explosions, countless explosions.
A salvo from the Sith Empire directly shattered all the defense fortresses of the Clem Empire.
There was no gorgeous exchange of fire, no dazzling beams, and no flexible movement of warships.
The entire battle ended with a salvo from the Imperial Fleet. Under the siege of the Empire's super-sized fleet and the fleet with doubled combat power, all the Clem fortresses were instantly destroyed.
"Continue to the enemy's next stronghold, and the command of the battle will be handed over to Eva." Li Mingze cut off the connection with his body after saying this. He will personally command the Imperial Glory to fight behind enemy lines for a period of time.
After Eva took over the command, the fleet jumped to the next destination. They had to destroy as many enemy frontline facilities as possible before the Clem fleet reacted.
A few days later
In the heart of the Clem Empire, a stealthed warship was quietly flying to a colony ahead.
The thrusters of this spaceship have been shut down, and the armor plates have covered the thruster jets. The entire battleship is accelerating towards the planet with its own gravity thrusters.
"Your Majesty, are we really going to do this? There are great risks in doing so." A crew member asked Li Mingze cautiously.
Li Mingze nodded gently as he looked at the colony surrounded by space buildings in front of him.
"Enter the best acceleration distance, prepare to restart the conventional thrusters for acceleration, all weapon systems are shut down, and the battleship enters a defensive state!" The crew's brains were working frantically. All weapons on the Imperial Glory were retracted into the hull, and the armor plates covered with dimensional armor wrapped the entire battleship as if it were one.
A few minutes later, the armor plates covering the thrusters at the rear of the battleship spread out to the surroundings, and the thruster jets emitted blue light again.
The speed of the entire battleship began to increase continuously, and soon broke through 20% of the speed of light.
However, at this time, the heat radiation emitted from the thrusters on the battleship had been detected by the space station of the Clem Empire.
Even if the Imperial Glory turned on the cloaking device, it would be useless. The Clem people were hundreds of years more advanced than the Empire in developing cloaking technology, as can be seen from the fact that the enemy's raiding fleet could sneak into the capital of the Sith Empire silently.
The Clem warships began to rush towards the exposed Imperial Glory from the side of the space station.
"Get ready, warships accelerate!"
"Calculate the collision trajectory, the enemy's flagship and space station have been calculated into the collision trajectory!" The crew reported nervously.
The Imperial Glory gently turned the bow, rapidly accelerating, and rushed towards the enemy fleet like a sharp sword.
"Evade quickly! The enemy is about to hit us!" The commander of the Clem Empire Fleet ordered nervously as he watched the Sith Glory approaching and visible to the naked eye.
But it was too late. The Imperial Glory had already flown in front of them, and the cold blade flashing on the bow of the Imperial Glory caught the eyes of Commander Clem.
"No!!!" With a scream, the hard hull of the Glory was like a sharp knife cutting into a cake, cutting the entire Clem flagship in half from the middle.
Accompanied by huge sparks and flying debris, the two halves of the wreckage of the Clem flagship turned into countless space junk in the explosion.
The Imperial Glory that hit it was unscathed and continued to rush towards the space station behind the Clem fleet at an astonishing speed.
"Your Majesty, the energy absorbed by the impact dimension armor just now only accounted for 0.0042 of the upper limit, which has no effect on us at all." The crew members said happily.
However, at this time, the soldiers in the Clem fleet were terrified.
"The opponent's target is our space station! All warships open fire!" The captain of another warship who took over the position of commander of Clem shouted in the communication.
A burst of particle beams rushed towards the Imperial Glory, but because the speed of the Imperial Glory was too fast, most of the attacks fell.
The attacks that were lucky enough to hit the Imperial Glory did not cause any damage to it. All the attacks seemed to have sunk into the sea without any movement.
"Prepare for impact!" The commander of the Clem Space Station looked at the Imperial Glory with despair.
The Imperial Glory crashed into the space station again, and with the same fire and flying debris as before, a huge crack was pierced through the space station.
Because a large number of reactors were destroyed and the main structure was seriously damaged, the entire space station erupted from time to time, and finally the entire space station broke into several large pieces and fell towards the surface of the planet.
The anti-gravity engines that kept these space stations afloat had all been overloaded and damaged in the previous collision. These space station fragments were like huge meteorites hitting the city on the ground.
This was Li Mingze's goal. Without firing a single shell, he could simply use the opponent's orbital buildings to cause the greatest damage to the opponent's colony, and at the same time destroy the enemy's war potential. After all, most of the shipyards are located in the orbit of the planet or in the zero-gravity zone.
In this way, the Imperial Glory was unstoppable and rushed through the orbit of the colony.
The huge orbital buildings that the Clem people were once proud of turned into time bombs, constantly smashing towards the surface of the planet.
The Clem people on the ground found that there were many meteor showers today, but soon they were no longer happy. Some huge fragments several kilometers long burst into the city with flames, causing huge shock waves hundreds of meters high.
The earth was shaking, and the high-rise buildings in the city kept collapsing in the impact. The streets were filled with screams and cries.
This was not the end. Li Mingze had already aimed at the other party's space city floating above the equator.
This huge space city with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers was like a floating island. Artificial rocks formed its bottom, and above the artificial rocks was a metropolis wrapped in a transparent shield.
A total of 360 huge anti-gravity devices surrounded the entire space city. Even if two-thirds of these 360 huge anti-gravity engines were destroyed, they could ensure that the entire space city landed safely on the ground.
However, since Li Mingze had taken action, it was absolutely impossible to leave another intact anti-gravity engine for the other party.
Li Mingze commanded the Empire Glory to rush towards the first anti-gravity engine. After a violent explosion, the first anti-gravity engine was blown into pieces.
"Quick! Quick! Quickly lower the height of the city and land it on the sea!" The mayor of the space city shouted to a group of staff in the control room of the space city.
Three updates will resume on Wednesday. I've been a bit busy these two days.
