THE SEVENTH BASE

Chapter 493: Chapter 90: Starburst

In the Black Dragon Battleship of Lancelot Star, Hayes stood in the command center, his eyes fixed on the screen displaying the ascending warships and the dense swarm of fighters, his gaze revealing a fierce intent to kill.

These reptiles, they can go and die.

“Energy Net coverage, screen signals,” Hayes ordered.

“Yes, General,” the warship controller responded, activating the Energy Net. Three gigantic interstellar battleships aligned in a row, an invisible energy fluctuation radiating from them and spreading out at a terrifying speed towards the distance, instantly covering the airspace.

As the Energy Net covered the airspace in an instant, the complexion of the commanders in the Federation Battleship’s command center changed.

“General Xiang, we can’t lock onto the enemy’s position anymore.” One of the controllers spoke up, the screen before them going blank, the signal jammed.

Xiang Lie, Commander of the Federation Fleet.

“Advance forward, find the enemy’s position, lock onto the previous coordinates, fire at will,” Xiang Lie ordered.

“Yes,” the warship controllers busied themselves as the warships charged up. Not just this one, dozens of warships simultaneously charged and opened fire.

But just as they fired, they saw a sky-full of missiles being launched at once, engulfing the airspace.

In an instant, explosions occurred all over the sky, with all warships and fighters spreading out and rushing toward the front.

Meanwhile, on the ground at the Federation Military Zone, many soldiers from the Federation Army had set up anti-air missiles.

They looked up at the sky above Byron Star, their expressions solemn.

“Position locked.”

“Position locked…”

A series of voices rang out in unison, and the Commander, standing behind the crowd, ordered, “Fire.”

As the order was given, missiles tore through the atmosphere, heading for the high-altitude warships at a terrifying speed—flames igniting in the air.

Missiles from Lancelot Star’s warships fell, reverse-locking the position of the anti-air missiles, and shot out at a horrifying speed, colliding in mid-air.

Explosions above the city created monstrous mushroom clouds, with the terrible force of the blasts radiating outwards. Even the citizens of Chuanxing City, despite the great distance, quickly felt a scorching air sweep past, and the temperature in the city was rising.

They could see continuous explosions in the high sky, every blast signifying the sacrifice of Federation soldiers.

The sound of the battle hymn rising in the city served as a bugle call for the soldiers’ charge.

The Divine Sword Bureau, all personnel fully armed.

They looked up at the high skies in the distance, only able to see the battle scene in the air with the help of special telescopes.

Xu Mo and his mentor Tan Taiming stood together.

After hundreds of years, war had erupted once again. Would the outcome be the same this time?

“Director Shi, does the Federation’s battleships have any hope?” Xu Mo asked Shi Qiang.

“No,” Shi Qiang shook his head: “The Federation’s battleships are a whole civilization level behind those from Lancelot Star. Our research could have bridged this gap, but there was not enough time. There is no hope of victory in this aerial battle; the only thing the Federation Army can do is fight to the death, trading blows with the enemy’s warships.”

“Fight to the death!” Xu Mo felt a ripple in his heart.

“Right, a fight to the death is the only chance,” said Shi Qiang, handing the telescope to Xu Mo, “Have a look.”

Xu Mo took the long telescope from Shi Qiang’s hands, which allowed him to see a great distance.

Xu Mo saw the aerial battlefield, with the Federation’s forces closing in on Lancelot Star’s warships. On their way, Lancelot’s warships were firing like mad, and with each shot, numerous fighters exploded in the air.

Yet, even so, under the guidance of their warships, all the fighters still moved forward without any hesitation, their formation spread wide, like a giant net across the sky.

“Boom…”

A series of starship missiles struck a Federation warship, which could no longer continue its advance. Its Energy Shield had long been destroyed, and now it blazed with flames in the sky, seemingly expending its last bit of energy as it continued to charge forward.

Another shell struck the warship, and it finally fell from the sky, plummeting towards the city.

Countless people from the Federation witnessed the crash of the warship, and the citizens of Chuanxing City watched the scene, their eyes burning with fervent fire.

Those who sacrificed themselves, they were the heroes of the Federation.

Despite it all, the entire fleet still advanced in a frenzy as if at any cost. Xu Mo, deeply moved by the sight of the battlefield in the sky, wondered, Was this a suicidal attack?

So far, Lancelot Star’s warships had only taken a handful of hits, their Energy Shields not even broken through.

“Activate the Energy Shield, full-speed charge,” ordered the commander aboard the Federation’s lead warship as the Energy Shield was activated, and the warship accelerated forward. Seeing the actions of the lead ship, the other warships didn’t hesitate and made the same maneuvers, lunging at the enemy’s warships from different directions.

“Fighters disengage, set up the Energy Net,” Hayes coldly ordered from within Lancelot Star’s command ship, and instantly, from within the three dark gigantic warships, dense swarms of mechanical body fighters detached and formed a net in the sky, dense and interwoven.

“Buzz…” Countless mechanical body fighters and warships opened fire at once, with millions of beams shooting out in an instant, causing the rapidly approaching fighters to explode, and after one volley, the casualties were countless.
