Chapter 761: War Begins

However, unfortunately, Li Mingze did not know that during the time he left the main universe, thousands of years had passed in the main universe due to the difference in time between universes!

The Zerg that developed in these thousands of years is no longer the original Zerg!

Although it seems that the Empire has developed rapidly in the past thousand years, the speed of the Zerg development is not inferior. The Empire and the Zerg just happened to be on the same starting line again.

When the Imperial Fleet had just arranged its battle formation, the Zerg swarm had already jumped out of the hyperspace and arrived in front of the Imperial Fleet.

The Zerg did not expect that they could jump into the arms of other civilizations by jumping casually.

Along the way, in order to avoid the tracking of the assimilationists, the Zerg fleet did not dare to scan the outside world.

They did not want to be discovered by the assimilationists when scanning, so the Zerg set a general direction and rushed on.

Anyway, even if they encountered obstacles, the Zerg swarms that had gathered together could ignore any enemies!

After discovering the Imperial Fleet, the Zerg was surprised to be stunned. They had flown for so long and encountered other civilizations for the first time.

And this civilization is somewhat familiar.

Yes, the paint on the warships of this civilization looks familiar to the Zerg Queen.

Yes! The Sith Empire that she had fought with more than 5,000 years ago!

The Zerg Queen suddenly remembered the Sith Empire that had fought with her so hard that it even did not hesitate to detonate its own territory to stop her development.

Unexpectedly, after disappearing for so long, the Sith Empire would appear again.

I don’t know what the relationship is between this Sith Empire and the civilization called the Sith Alliance. If it weren’t for the huge difference in strength, she almost thought that the Sith Alliance was the Sith Empire.

The Imperial Fleet, which had been prepared for a long time, took advantage of the Zerg’s daze and fired all the weapons that had been charged.

Suddenly, the entire starry sky was filled with shells fired by the Empire, and the light generated by the beam cannon alone covered the light of the nearby star.

However, just when the officers of the Empire thought that the Zerg would suffer heavy losses under this salvo of the Imperial battleships!

A huge green shield suddenly rose in the direction of the Zerg swarm, which took all the attacks. It was only when the last shell hit the shield that it broke and dissipated.

The Imperial Fleet, which had no effect in the first salvo, instantly lost its first-mover advantage, and the situation on the battlefield was in the hands of the Zerg swarm.

At this time, the Zerg warships slowly aimed their guns at the Imperial Fleet.

It seemed that the Zerg Queen wanted to play tricks on the Imperial Fleet. The speed at which these gun barrels rotated made the Imperial officers a little crazy. It would be better to be hit by a shell directly.

Although the gun turrets of the Zerg warships were clearly rotating, the Imperial Fleet could not move easily.

Because of the group shields, the Imperial Fleet needed to maintain the tightness of the formation so that the shields of all the warships could be integrated together to form a stronger shield.

Any warship that left the formation without authorization could cause the fleet's group shield to fail.

So the Imperial warships could only quietly wait for the Zerg attack to come.

It took two full minutes for the Zerg warships to aim their guns at the Imperial fleet. These two minutes were simply torture for the Imperial officers!

However, since the other side underestimated the enemy, the Empire would naturally make them suffer.

During the confrontation between the Imperial fleet and the Zerg, the swarm motherships that received the order were already on their way.

The attack of the Zerg fleet was not the plasma or acid that the Empire was familiar with. Their turrets fired kinetic shells and beam weapons.

It seemed that the Zerg had completely changed its technological structure. Could it be that they were on the road of mechanical technology?

Like the shield ejected by the Zerg, a blue shield was also raised in the Imperial fleet, blocking all the attacks of the Zerg fleet.

The current battle gave people a turn-based feeling. Because of the group shield, both sides could not move around and conduct mobile warfare at will.

They were confronting each other thousands of kilometers apart in such an absurd manner. Whoever's weapon cooldown time was up would fire.

It was completely a battle of shields and attack capabilities of the warships!

Such a boring battle made Li Mingze sleepy. He stood up from his command chair and left the bridge.

Just now, he learned from the remaining shields that according to the enemy's current attack strength and efficiency, it might take ten hours for the shields of both sides to be broken.

That's when the real battle will begin. Now they are just consuming each other's shields, so he still has plenty of time to rest.

What's more, the Empire's Hive Mothership is also on the way. When the Hive Mothership arrives, it will be the time for the Empire to turn the tide of the war.

When Li Mingze returned to the lounge, the warships of both sides were still shooting at each other.

More than nine hours later, Li Mingze returned to the bridge. At this time, the shields of the Empire fleet had bottomed out, and so did the shields of the Zerg.

However, relying on the support of a mothership, the Zerg's shields should be able to hold out for a while longer than the Empire fleet.

"Your Majesty, our Hive Mothership has arrived!" Suddenly, an officer stood up and reported to Li Mingze.

Li Mingze narrowed his eyes: "Oh? The Hive Mothership has arrived? Order all warships to fire all antimatter missiles! No need to hold back!"

That's right, the Empire's previous attack has been holding back, and the missiles and shells filled with antimatter have never been used, just to wait for the arrival of the Hive Mothership.

Some people may be curious, why antimatter weapons have not been put into use? Instead, they have to wait for the arrival of the Hive Mothership.

Because of the special properties of antimatter, it must react with positive matter to release energy. Therefore, if antimatter missiles and shells are used directly to attack the Zerg shield, it is impossible to release huge energy. At most, it can only have a few percent of the original power.

But with the Hive Mothership, it is different. The Wasp fighters on the mothership are a good medium for the release of antimatter.

Once the number of Wasp fighters gathered is large enough, the energy released by the Empire's antimatter shells and antimatter missiles can even directly wipe out a planet.

When a cylindrical warship sailed out from behind the Imperial Fleet, the Zerg felt something was wrong, but they didn't think much about it. Their weapons were all charging, and even if they thought much, they couldn't do anything to the warship.

At this moment, countless Wasp fighters poured out from the Hive Mothership like a tide!

I wish you all a happy Valentine's Day, and those who confess will succeed, and those who have a partner will be together forever.
