There was not much of a difference in technology between the two parties. There was no way to deal with a target that could travel faster than light like the warp drive. It was like when they encountered a supersonic missile during World War I. Other than using anti-aircraft guns to try their luck, there was no better way to deal with it.
Dangerous energy rays covered the path that the fleet had to pass through. It was like a road of death with danger at every step.
Three hours later, another battleship left the warp drive and floated in the dark space.
Soon after, another battleship left the warp drive.
All the crew members in the human battleship were silent and determined. No one knew who would be next, but all of them were mentally prepared. As the first batch, they were also the most dangerous. Before they set off, they were already prepared for death.
"Distance to the first target is three light days away!"
The voice of the artificial intelligence system made the commander of the battleship, Hou Shuwen, clench his fist. His face was solemn. There were only 12 hours left to reach the target. However, it was also the most dangerous 12 hours.
...
Compared to the humans, the Glassian society was in a state of panic. In the bustling city, there was no peace and order. The whole society was in chaos.
"The aliens are here!"
"We Glassians are finished!"
In the past two years of war, the Glassian government had already described the humans as strong and evil in order to unify the forces. The consequence was that when the government issued an emergency warning, asking the people to hide in the underground fortifications, the whole society was in a state of panic.
At the space port near the residential planet, a large number of spaceships disregarded the ban and began to escape in all directions, trying to leave this place.
The owners of these spaceships were either rich or noble. The troops stationed at the space port hesitated for a moment and did not carry out a thunderous attack. Suddenly, more spaceships joined the escape team.
The long period of peace had already eroded the Glassian's fighting spirit. When faced with weak opponents, they could be arrogant and fight bravely. However, when faced with the threat of death and fear, no one could remain calm.
What's more, even the warp drive fleet stationed near the residential planet could not withstand the pressure. Before they left the residential planet, they forcefully activated the warp drive engine and joined the escape team. The space fluctuation caused by the battleship caused a huge disaster to the nearby second planet. Half of the planet's machinery and electronic equipment were instantly destroyed. Many of the nearby space defense facilities were destroyed. It was undoubtedly one disaster after another for the Glassian.
Before the human battleship arrived, the Glassian society was on the verge of collapse.
In the Glassian capital, an old Glassian who was full of wrinkles looked at the source of the space fluctuation on the holographic screen that was getting closer and closer. A series of bad news and the out of control order made him feel hopeless.
The Glassians were supposed to be united against the threat of the alien civilization. However, he felt that he was gradually losing control of the country.
When his personal terminal finally received the news of a large-scale escape of spaceships from the spaceport, and even three Reactionless Drive warships had joined in the escape, half an hour had already passed since the incident.
When he understood everything, he felt as if the world had darkened and he almost fainted. When he came back to his senses, he flew into a rage. "This is a rebellion! This is a rebellion! Destroy all intruders! Also … get the troops to forcefully enlist all spaceships. "
These spaceships were the last hope of the Glassians. Although they could not bring all of the Glassians with them, they could at least save the Glassians from extinction.
As for the spatial fluctuations from the Reactionless Drive Battleship that had caused half of the planet's defenses to collapse, he no longer cared about it.
"It's over. It's over for the Glassians."
His heart was filled with despair and hatred. He despaired of the strength of the human race. He hated his colleagues and local forces that were hindering him. He hated the merchants that did not cooperate.
The Glassians should not have fallen into such a hopeless situation. If they could unleash their full strength, they would be able to survive this crisis. However, even if they discovered the danger, the Glassian society was still unable to reverse the strong inertia and enter a state of war.
The Glassians could not even use 1% of their strength. They did not put in all their effort into the military.
The Glassian's rule was loose and their power was not centralized. The central government had limited restrictions and the local forces had great power. If it was during peaceful times, it would not affect them much. However, when it came to war, such a loose system would not be able to fully respond.
However, compared to hating them, he hated his predecessor even more. If it was not for that incompetent idiot who had long turned into dust, who gave the order to attack Earth, the Glassians would not be in this situation today.
He was the one who caused all of this. He was the sinner of the entire Glassian civilization, bringing destruction to the Glassians.
He was mentally exhausted. "Perhaps it is time to evacuate, otherwise the Glassians will not be able to escape."
...
Four hours later, the Glassians finally began to flee.
Numerous aircrafts flew from all over the three residential planets and flew towards the nearby space port. In the beginning, due to the secrecy, the society was still able to maintain order. However, when the news of the evacuation began to spread, the entire social order suddenly collapsed. All kinds of murder, robbery and other vicious crimes spread like a virus.
In order to compete for a place in the spaceship, the Glassians, who were originally a humble and civilized person, had now become vicious and brutal. A prosperous civilization had turned into a dilapidated mess in the blink of an eye. They were on the verge of death.
In the end, even the Glassian army could not wait to join the evacuation team. Some of the abandoned troops even rebelled and began to fight for the aircrafts. Every residential planet began to be filled with smoke. The selfish nature of the creatures was vividly reflected in the disaster of the collapse of order.
When the humans were about to reach the light sky, the firepower that was supposed to be more concentrated had rapidly weakened.
At this time, there were only 18 warships left. In the past seven to eight hours, a total of 12 warships and a total of 360 soldiers had been sacrificed during the journey. If the Glassians had persisted until the last moment, it was still unknown who would be the winner.
But now, they no longer had any hope.
In the dark space, there were hundreds of thousands of Glassian escaping aircrafts. They almost covered the entire Glassian galaxy. Among these aircrafts, there were cargo ships, Reactionless Drive warships and even small aircrafts. They were all like headless flies, fleeing in all directions. As for the residential planets, it was filled with fire and smoke. It was a mess.
It seemed that no one was paying attention to the human warships anymore. The high energy rays that were still attacking the human warships were only automatically defended by the artificial intelligence system.
Even so, when they reached the last light sky, five of the human warships had been destroyed.
However, such an outcome had already made the human fleet cheer. They felt that they were blessed by the gods. At the last light sky, it was also the tightest defense circle of the civilization. The number of warships that the humans had sacrificed was actually far less than the previous two light skies.
When traveling at superluminal speed, the warships were completely unable to detect the situation. Therefore, they did not know that the Glassians had completely collapsed before the battle and had already begun to flee in all directions.
All the routes of the Reactionless Drive warships were flying according to the star chart. Furthermore, with the space wave radar that had been used to investigate the Glassian galaxy for a year, the celestial movement system of this galaxy was very accurate. The error did not even exceed 500 kilometers. There was no need for them to be like the Glassians last time, where they had to stop in the vicinity of the star field.
As the fleet gradually approached the first residential planet of the Glassian, the entire fleet of warships began to turn around in an arc. It was like an elegant and dazzling stream of light in the darkness. When the arc was the closest to the planet, the remaining 14 warships of the humans started to move their heavy main cannons slowly. The cannons that had been charging for a long time lit up one by one, emitting a dazzling light.
In the next moment, 14 rays of light that were as dazzling as the stars broke through the Reactionless Drive bubble and flew towards the first residential planet at the speed of light.
Other than six rays that brushed past the planet, the remaining eight rays directly landed on the planet.
This was a type of highly condensed gamma ray energy. Through the quantum energy transmission technology that humans were good at, there was no need for the restrictions of the cannon barrel material. The energy could be superimposed countless times, concentrating the energy to infinity. The energy contained in each ray of light was not much weaker than a 10-ton antimatter bomb. Furthermore, it had a strong penetrating power, causing a portion of the energy to go straight to the core of the planet. Compared to the antimatter bomb, it could cause more destructive damage to the celestial bodies.
The highly condensed energy carried a destructive aura. It was like a punishment from the gods. In an instant, it passed through the atmosphere and fiercely landed on the first residential planet. The surface of the planet did not even have time to resist for a microsecond before it was instantly vaporized.
At this moment, it was as if time had stopped.
In the next moment, dazzling light suddenly lit up everywhere on the planet, engulfing rivers, cities and lakes. The entire planet shook violently.
The continent was torn apart. The sea gradually boiled. The magma underground began to erupt. Hurricanes swept across the planet.
Especially when one of the gamma rays hit the core of the planet, it caused a drastic change in the geomagnetism, forming a terrifying thunderstorm.
Within a short span of a second, 70% of the Glassians who stayed on the planet died. The remaining 30% also died within a minute. Under such a level of catastrophe, even if they hid underground, they would not be able to survive. The entire planet had completely entered an apocalyptic scene.
The human battleship did not stop at all. It made a big turn and rushed towards the second residential planet, bringing about the destruction of the humans.
…
The humans attacked for a total of three hours. Each residential planet had at least five rounds of attacks. It was only until the high-energy battery of the weapon's energy storage system was depleted that they dispersed and retreated from the star system. The plan to "attack the root of the problem" had succeeded. Most of the Glassians had been killed. The next step was to patiently clear up all the remaining forces.
However, the main focus was no longer the battleship. It was the huge number of intelligent space fighters that were carried by the battleship.
