According to human customs, the first of January was the New Year.
The Alliance and the Qin Empire celebrated the New Year on this day. Also, because of the Star Fortress, both sides were synchronized.
This was also because both sides were humans and came from the same planet with the same culture. This synchronization was also to prepare for conquering and assimilating the other side.
The problem was that for thousands of years, neither side could do anything to the other. The synchronization of the calendar was maintained.
In the past two months, although the Alliance military was actively preparing for war, most people didn't notice anything wrong. As the overlord of the galaxy, humans had been dominating for too long.
Almost all humans felt that their race was the master of the universe. As for other intelligent civilizations, they had always been dismissive.
The capital of the Alliance, Tianjing, was naturally the place with the most festive atmosphere. Every New Year, there would be all kinds of performances and celebrations.
On the 31st of December, the last day of the year, the entire Alliance began to have a holiday. Even in the military, it was inevitable that they would be filled with a festive atmosphere.
Soldiers carried out missions all year round and were tense every day. For soldiers, holidays were unavoidable and they had to relax.
Although many wars liked to start during holidays, they were in the minority.
The military's judgment of the Snake Race was that there might be a probing war in the next three to five years. However, the war would definitely break out at the edge of the galaxy.
The capital of the Alliance, Tianjing, was surrounded by hundreds of large and small military fortresses. There were many natural planets among them. They formed a huge and tight defensive network.
Star Fortress No. 5 was less than a billion kilometers away from the capital, Tianjing. When Tianjing released a grand scale of fireworks in the New Year, the fireworks could even be seen with the naked eye on Guard No. 7.
Of course, it was even clearer with a high-powered telescope.
There were no natural planets around the location of Star Fortress No. 5. Only the distant Star Tianjing shone like a huge light bulb.
Apart from the Star Tianjing, there were no other stars in this empty space.
There were tens of millions of soldiers on Guard No. 5. It was a holiday, so 95% of the soldiers were on holiday. Most of the soldiers were drinking in various hotels and restaurants.
Although the soldiers were on holiday, they couldn't go home. Only high-ranking officers could bring their families in the fortress. Of course, tens of millions of soldiers also needed all kinds of entertainment.
There were also all kinds of entertainment inside the fortress.
The remaining 5% of soldiers had to stick to their posts and stand guard.
Most of these soldiers were in charge of communication and radar, including the officers on duty in each division.
Among them, the 3rd Radar Division was responsible for monitoring radars.
In the starfield where Tianjing was located, the starry skies were filled with various small intelligent transmission devices. These transmitters were also the basis for the transmission of signals on the Star Web.
However, the first mission of these teleportation devices was to monitor all abnormal reactions within the scanning area.
The 3rd Division was in charge of processing this information. Out of distrust of robots, the military strictly prohibited the use of robots in important positions.
Su Yunhui was an honorable soldier, and he was in charge of scanning and monitoring the Third Region's Star Domain Radar.
As a major, Su Yunhui was qualified to bring his family with him. The problem was that he was not married, and he had no interest in getting married.
His favorite thing to do was to make a cup of strong tea and stare blankly at the starry sky outside the surveillance room.
He felt that he should be a poet. He often violated the rules by secretly logging onto a certain literary website on the Star Web to publish some of his poems.
The female communications cadet who had helped him log into the Star Web was filled with admiration. It was a pity that this female correspondent was a little unpresentable and a little silly.
It wasn't that Su Yunhui looked down on him, but he felt that with his status and looks, he would be mocked by others if he walked together with a female communications cadet.
Therefore, Su Yunhui didn't care much about this die-hard fan. The problem was that apart from this die-hard fan, almost no one paid attention to his poems.
Yes, they didn't even insult him. Those poems stayed quietly on the Star Web, and although they were accompanied by moving music and illustrations, no one cared about them.
Su Yunhui actually didn't like those illustrations and music either. They were extremely superficial.
The beauty of words lay in the creation of images. The beauty of images lay in the fleeting flow between the spirit and consciousness, surpassing all tangible images or sounds.
It was a pity that the others didn't care about what Su Yunhui cared about.
Be it in the military camp or in life, Su Yunhui was a lonely person.
Loneliness didn't lie in the number of people around him, but in the fullness of his soul.
Su Yunhui had to admit that he was very tacky at times. He actually wanted to be acknowledged by a group of ignorant fools, and sometimes he even wanted to communicate with them.
His noble soul often wanted to give up his nobility.
In the end, Su Yunhui endured all of this. Before the upcoming New Year, he even took on all the holiday duty by himself.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He quietly looked at the starry sky, pondered the past, pondered the future, pondered the meaning of life and the universe.
"Beep, beep, beep …"
A sharp alarm sounded on the surveillance radar, but it broke Su Yunhui's contemplation.
He turned around unhappily and wanted to turn off the alarm.
The surveillance radar was very sensitive. Even if it was just a few small meteorites flying from afar, the radar would be happy to hear it.
In fact, if there were really large meteorites or strong electric pulses, the Star Fortress in front would have already issued a warning.
Star Fortress No. 5 was already very close to Tianjing. Outside Star Fortress No. 5, there were layers of Star Fortresses. It was impossible for anything dangerous to break through the layers of scanning and suddenly run here.
Of course, Su Yunhui also knew that the Snake Race had been discovered, and he also knew that the higher-ups of the military were very nervous. However, in his opinion, the war was still very far away.
He didn't have any vigilance, and he didn't feel that there was a need to be vigilant.
But when he turned the swivel chair, he saw a red dot that was almost purple on the huge scanning light screen. The space constant on the radar was jumping very frighteningly.
Su Yunhui was able to become a major, of course, not because he could write poems, but because he had received professional education in military school for seven years.
As a Star Master, he was just a small 5-star Bronze rank. However, there was no doubt that his professional knowledge was solid.
With just a glance, Su Yunhui made a judgment from the abnormal data. There was a super strong energy gathering in the void, which would break the space of the positive universe and form a temporary wormhole.
Wormhole was actually the foundation of the space jump station. All the space jump stations chose natural wormholes to be modified and built into stable space jump stations.
"Oh no!"
Su Yunhui immediately realized that the situation was not right, but he still did not dare to rashly send the alarm.
The energy reaction in the universe was strange, and he would be scolded if he rashly sent the alarm during the holidays. The key was that he was not sure what it was, and it would be too irresponsible to casually send the alarm.
The red dot became redder, and then, the radar scanned a small red dot that represented the breath of life. The breath of life was especially strong, so strong that it was thousands of times stronger than an ordinary person.
At this time, Su Yunhui could finally confirm that it was a powerful life that broke into the star field. He did not dare to have any hesitation, and sounded the level 10 alarm.
Level 10 was the highest level, and it would be directly sent to the highest military officer of the Star Fortress.
The division commander of the radar division was having a feast at home, and when he received the alarm, he was extremely angry. He felt that some crazy person must be messing around again. If nothing serious happened, he would definitely kill the person who sent the alarm.
When the division commander arrived at the division headquarters, most of the high-ranking officers were already there. Many people were cursing and swearing.
The division commander entered the large conference room with a cold expression, and the deputy chief of staff ran over with a pale face. "We discovered a large number of enemies invading. I have already reported this to Tianjing …"
The division commander looked at the image displayed on the giant light screen, and he was instantly stunned.
One after another, snake-like creatures that were thousands of meters long flew out of the wormhole. These snake-like creatures all had enormous wings, and the surface of their bodies was covered in scales.
The numbers displayed on the radar indicated that these giant snake race beings were all very powerful. The energy reaction of their bodies was even higher than that of the main battleships of the Alliance.
"Snake race …" The division commander was so shocked that he fell onto his chair, completely dumbfounded.
As a soldier during times of peace, he had never experienced any battles. He was able to reach this position because his surname was Jiang, and he was a branch family member of the seven Gold Families.
One after another, giant snake race beings that looked like flying ships flew out of the wormhole.
This time, the Snake Race had gathered tens of millions of adult winged serpents. These winged serpents could fly and live in vacuum, and they had enormous cavities inside that could carry all sorts of items, including elite snake race warriors.
Tianjing, the center of the Alliance, was surrounded by all sorts of battle-type star fortresses. In this starfield, one had to give it their all.
Thus, this time, the Snake Race had sent out 40% of their elite combat strength to take down Tianjing in one fell swoop and intimidate the humans.
There were too many humans. If they took down the starfields one by one, the Snake Race might not be able to afford it.
As the guide, Gold Divine General Hongwu was extremely shocked when he saw the giant winged serpents surge out of the wormhole like a tidal wave.
With so many powerful winged serpents, each winged serpent could carry tens of thousands of warriors. In other words, there were at least hundreds of billions of snake race elites here.
In terms of numbers, they weren't inferior to Tianjing's defensive strength. In terms of quality, they were naturally a level higher.
The Snake Race completely relied on biochemical technology, but their technology was very mature and not inferior to human technology. The enormous power that the Snake Race possessed was an advantage that humans couldn't compare to.
Other than having an advantage in numbers, humans couldn't compare to the Snake Race in any other aspects.
Hongwu was also a very decisive person. Since he had decided to cooperate with the Snake Race, he wouldn't think about what the humans could do. However, seeing the Snake Race army charging in without any defenses, Tianjing probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
As a human, Hongwu still had very complicated feelings.
After this battle, the elites of the Alliance would probably all be annihilated!
"You seem to be very sad …" A snake race leader suddenly appeared beside Hongwu.
This snake race leader's spiritual consciousness was strangely sticky, and the spiritual consciousness he transmitted was like a poisonous snake crawling on a person's body. This made Hongwu feel very uncomfortable.
However, Hongwu didn't dare to show it. This person was one of the highest leaders of the Snake Race. According to the ranking of the Snake Race, he should be the third most important person.
Of course, the Snake Race had their own name, but it didn't mean anything when translated into human language. The most direct translation was Snake Three. The third most important person of the Snake Race.
Snake Three's body was six meters tall, and he looked a bit like a star armor. The scales on the surface of his body were thick and dense. He also had four arms, all of which were particularly thick, long, and powerful.
On the flat snake head, two emotionless purple-red eyes stared coldly at Guardian No.5 Star Castle in front of them.
Snake Three completely crushed Hongwu in terms of aura alone. His spiritual power flooded into Hongwu's sea of consciousness, making it hard for him to resist.
Hongwu didn't dare to resist, so he could only passively endure the impact of his opponent's spiritual power. He still had to answer carefully, "Everything grieves for its own kind. It's hard for me to not be in a good mood when I see my own kind being annihilated."
Snake Three stretched out a huge palm and patted Hongwu's head, "Don't worry, there are too many humans. Even if 90% of them die, the remaining 10% is enough for you to rule. The human race isn't completely useless. "
Snake Three said proudly, "We, the Snake Race, will never go back on our words."
Hongwu didn't dare to say anything, so he could only nod to show his obedience and agreement.
Guardian No.5 also responded, and antimatter missiles flew out one after another. These antimatter interstellar missiles were very powerful.
One of them could even blow up a small planet. Even the main battleships would find it hard to withstand the power of antimatter missiles if they were hit head-on.
The winged serpents at the very front simultaneously spat out all sorts of star power flames. Tens of millions of star power flames shot out like missiles, drawing out streaks of light in the deep starry sky.
Hundreds of antimatter missiles were all detonated within the enormous net of light.
The shockwaves from the antimatter missiles didn't leave any traces in the vast starry sky. Only some of the enormous winged serpents at the very front were pushed back by the shockwaves.
As the star castle guards, their job was to fight. Who knew how much ammunition was stored in the armory.
In a short ten minutes, Guardian No.5 Star Castle had already completed its battle preparations. A fully automated battle fort, under the control of the photon computer, was extremely efficient to begin with.
After the first wave of antimatter missiles, the second, third, and fourth wave of antimatter missiles swarmed out, bombarding the enormous winged serpent army.
The winged serpent army also got into battle formations in an orderly manner, and began to attack Guardian No.5 in batches.
Most of the antimatter missiles were destroyed, but the densely packed antimatter missiles still hit a few winged serpents. Among them, two of the enormous winged serpents were blasted apart at the waist, the purple blood of the winged serpents rapidly freezing in the vacuum cold environment.
Within the broken corpse of the winged serpent, most of the elite serpent race had become space corpses. Even if some serpent race soldiers managed to keep their bodies intact, under the huge impact of the antimatter missiles, their internal organs were also shattered.
No matter how strong the serpent race was, they were still a type of flesh and blood. In the end, they couldn't withstand the power of the antimatter missiles.
However, tens of thousands of enormous winged serpents had already started spitting out flames. Guardian No.5 was about to turn into a huge colorful fireball.
Although a star castle like Guardian No.5 was sturdy, it still couldn't withstand such a high intensity attack. Moreover, this was the winged serpent army that numbered in the tens of millions.
Even if all of the fleets in the core region of Tianjing were grouped together, they still couldn't compare to the winged serpent army.
Hongwu judged that Guardian No.5 wouldn't be able to last more than ten minutes. If everything went smoothly, they would be able to take down Tianjing in a few hours.
Guardian No.5's star castle quickly couldn't hold on any longer. The star power barrier was the first to shatter, and the outer layer of the star castle continuously melted and exploded.
The high-temperature energy radiated in by the flames also caused the weapons on the highest layer to be completely destroyed, and a large number of soldiers directly suffocated to death under the high temperature.
The radar scanning station that Su Yunhui was at was at the outermost layer of the star castle. They were also the first to bear the test of that terrifying high temperature.
All the instruments melted under the high temperature, and some even started to burn. Some of the soldiers had long lost their consciousness from being roasted and fell to the ground. Their entire bodies appeared to be in a horrifying charred state.
As a Star Master, although Su Yunhui didn't have a Star Armor, he could still use his star power to barely hold on. However, he knew that he was definitely going to die.
At this time, the communicator female student appeared in his mind. He felt that the girl seemed to be pretty good.
Su Yunhui looked at the corpses of his comrades, and suddenly thought of a poem: "The burning of life will only turn into cold ashes …"
The blazing flames suddenly became stronger, engulfing Su Yunhui and his poem, as well as the entire radar station.
The violent flames continued to wreak havoc, spreading towards the depths of Guardian No.5.
Hongwu, who was tens of thousands of kilometers away, just watched as the flames of Guardian No.5 grew bigger and bigger. After a while, it suddenly exploded in a ball of flames.
Hongwu guessed that the ammunition depot was detonated, and the structure of Guardian No.5 was also destroyed by the star power flames, which was why it easily exploded.
There were also some Star Masters who escaped. However, it didn't matter if they were small warships or individual Star Armors. Under the encirclement of the Serpentwing Legion, there was no gap at all.
These Star Masters and warships were all turned into ashes under the flames of the Serpentwing Legion.
From the start of the battle to the explosion of Guardian No.5, the entire process only took ten minutes.
According to Hongwu's calculations, the Serpentwing Legion's losses were probably less than three digits. With such a terrifying battle loss ratio, it could be said that it was a completely one-sided situation.
However, Tianjing wasn't that easy to conquer.
Tianjing was much bigger than Guardian No.5, and Tianjing was divided into nineteen levels. When it was first designed, it was in consideration of the invasion of a strong enemy, and they had to retreat layer by layer.
Hongwu wanted to see how long the supposedly unbreakable Tianjing could last against the Serpentwing Legion.
Although Guardian No.5 had only resisted for ten minutes, these ten minutes were enough for Tianjing to react.
The Alliance President immediately ordered to enter a state of martial law, and the Alliance entered a state of war. All the troops were mobilized and prepared for battle.
Although Tianjing hadn't experienced battle for thousands of years, the quality of the Star Masters allowed the army to react quickly, and their combat strength was also guaranteed.
Tong Ying and Cheng Qingyun, who were resting in the military's luxurious area, were stunned when they received the news of the war alarm.
Gao Zhengyang had gone to the Empire, and the two of them were waiting in Tianjing. Gao Zhengyang had been gone for a few months, and there had been no news from him. The two of them were very anxious as they waited.
However, they never expected that Tianjing would actually be attacked by a foreign race. From the looks of it, Tianjing didn't seem to be in a good situation.
Cheng Qingyun and Tong Ying had also studied in the military academy, and they understood the most basic military theories.
As the core of the Alliance, Tianjing was attacked by the enemy without any warning. The situation was simply terrible.
At such a crucial moment, Gao Zhengyang couldn't be contacted. The star network had also completely cut off contact with the other starfields. They also couldn't contact their families.
The two of them were a little confused, and didn't know how to deal with the current situation.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Tong Ying and Cheng Qingyun were very nervous. The two of them looked at the video and realized that it was Chu Que outside the door. The two of them heaved a sigh of relief. Chu Que could barely be considered a friend of Gao Zhengyang, and he shouldn't have any bad intentions by coming at this time.
They opened the door and invited Chu Que in, but he didn't enter the house. He stood at the door and said, "Immediately take the most important items and leave. In ten minutes, an airship will leave Tianjing."
"Tianjing is in such danger?" Tong Ying asked in disbelief.
"Tianjing can't be saved." Chu Que said calmly, "As Beichen's friend, I have the responsibility to protect your safety."
Cheng Qingyun asked, "Then are you coming with us?"
Chu Que slowly shook his head, "I'm not going."
Tong Ying didn't understand, "Why?"
Chu Que said calmly, "The Chu Family enjoys countless resources in the Alliance, and is known as one of the seven Golden Families. The Alliance is in danger, and they dare to not fight to the death. "
