Chapter 719 Targeting the Flagship

"The mental network is operating normally, with a load rate of 57%! Entering combat mode!"

After advancing a distance, the Empire's fleet suddenly dispersed around, while the Fortress led the White Dwarf-class battleships to stay in place and form an arrow-shaped formation.

"There are three seconds left before the two sides engage in a firefight! Three! Two! One!" As the countdown ended, the Federation's fleet had entered the range of the Empire's fleet.

One after another, shield-breaking shells were fired from the guns of the Empire's battleships at the Federation's fleet, and billions of shells in the air were densely arranged into a wall and rushed towards the Federation's battleships.

It seems that the flight trajectories of these shells are chaotic, but in fact, the Empire has already predicted the trajectory of the Federation's battleships through the mental network. On average, three of these shells are aimed at one enemy ship, and there will be no waste of firepower.

Seeing that the Empire's battleships began to attack, although the Empire's battleships had not yet entered their range, the Federation fleet still launched a counterattack.

Hundreds of billions of shells or missiles mixed with beams shot towards the Empire's fleet.

However, since the Imperial Fleet was still out of the enemy's range, although these weapons still had decent lethality, their hit rate could no longer be guaranteed!

Under the guidance of the mental network, the Imperial Fleet began to make various maneuvers in the air.

The Empire was in control of what impact each spaceship would have on the warships behind it after the maneuver.

Some shells that seemed to be unavoidable were magically dodged by the Empire's warships!

From the mental network, these weapons had already drawn attack trajectories when they were fired.

All the Imperial warships needed to do was to cross themselves in the gaps between these trajectories.

Although such actions were very unsightly, and from the outside the Imperial Fleet looked like it was drunk and staggering, it was this action that made all the flying shells and beams pass by the Imperial warships!

Those missiles that followed the shells and beams were also successfully intercepted outside the threat distance and could not get close to the Imperial Fleet at all.

The Imperial Fleet, which was blessed by the neural network, seemed to have maxed out its evasion rate. As long as the attack was not instantaneous, the Imperial warships could basically dodge it easily!

But the Federation was not optimistic. The evasive route that had been calculated by the Empire long ago, coupled with the dense formation.

The hit rate of the Empire's weapons reached an astonishing 90%!

Only 10% of the attacks fell into the air!

These shield-breaking shells easily broke the shields of these warships. The Federation warships that lost their shields were simply vulnerable. Most of the technology within the Federation focused on the research of shields, which was just restrained by the shield-breaking shells fired by the Empire.

The Federation warships that lost their shields only had a thin layer of armor to protect their fragile hulls.

Of course, such a design also has advantages, that is, it greatly reduces the cost of building warships, which allows many civilizations in the Federation to build so many warships.

If they were equipped with thick armor for warships like the Empire, they would never be able to build so many main battleships.

Seeing that the shields on the enemy warships had been shattered, the Empire warships immediately replaced the shield-breaking shells in the barrels and replaced them with special shells filled with antimatter.

These shells filled with antimatter flew towards the Federation fleet again.

The Federation warships, which had lost their shields, could only try to intercept these flying shells with close-in weapons.

However, the efficiency of this interception was extremely low. When the shells fired by the Empire were about to hit the Federation warships, only 30% were intercepted!

The remaining 70% of the shells directly penetrated the thin armor of the Federation warships.

With violent flashes, more than 200 million Federation warships turned into ashes under this round of attack.

Other warships around that were affected by the fragments and energy were also seriously injured.

Seeing such a record in the first confrontation, the officers of the Empire could not help but be overjoyed.

But they did not know that the Federation fleet they destroyed in the first wave was just a warship pulled by 31 advanced civilizations to serve as cannon fodder!

These warships were all produced by the vassal civilizations of these advanced civilizations, and their combat effectiveness was far different from the main battleships of 31 civilizations.

Taking this opportunity, the Federation also clearly realized the combat effectiveness of the Empire fleet.

"All-out attack!" With the order of the Federation commander, nearly 10 billion warships pressed forward directly.

After entering the weapon range, the weapons on these warships opened fire one after another, and the flashes released by the weapons formed a long light strip, and the starry sky in front of the fleet was illuminated by its dazzling light.

As the distance between the two sides was very close, the evasion efficiency of the imperial warships began to decline, and the time left for the imperial warships to maneuver after the attack of the federal warships was greatly reduced.

The other side had just opened fire, and the attack would arrive in a short while. The imperial warships only had time to dodge most of the attacks, and a small part of the attacks still fell on the heads of the imperial fleet.

As the explosion simulated by the system came from the bridge audio, Li Mingze watched the blue dots representing his own warships on the holographic screen disappear quickly.

"Report the damage!" Li Mingze said anxiously.

"Report to His Majesty, we have just lost 130,000 Zeus-class warships, 240,000 cruisers and 400,000 destroyers!" Knowing that His Majesty would definitely be angry after hearing this, an officer still answered with a stiff upper lip.

"Damn it! White Dwarf-class battleships are moving at full speed, give me

Insert into the enemy's formation, all weapons of the Fortress are fired, bombard hard! "Li Mingze slammed the table and said angrily.

It has been a long time since the Empire suffered such a great loss, but today it lost so many warships at the hands of the Spiral Federation that it did not even look down on. How could Li Mingze not be angry!

The White Dwarf-class battleships that were originally advancing slowly with the Zeus-class battleships instantly began to speed up and rushed towards the Federation fleet.

The Empire's flagship Fortress took the lead and rushed in front of the White Dwarf-class fleet.

The three main guns and ten secondary guns on the Fortress and countless fortress guns fired crazily at the Federation fleet.

The Fortress's main guns could destroy a star. The super shell flew directly to the Federation's fleet.

This shell was loaded directly onto the Federation's central flagship at sub-light speed.

The Federation flagship had no time to dodge before being hit on the side by this shell.

The huge kinetic energy brought by the shell at sub-light speed directly smashed the flagship's shield and dissipated in the universe.

Then the warhead composed of its crystal stone slammed into the body of the Federation flagship.

The position that bound the antimatter in the shell was instantly closed, and the antimatter began to react with the crystal stone that wrapped it and annihilated each other.

In just one femtosecond, a dazzling light was emitted from the Federation flagship!
