Ten minutes was not a long time, but for the European countries that were about to face an alien invasion, it was not enough. It was not short, but it made the Orion people who were waiting for the Earthlings to make a choice impatient. Every minute was so boring.
"Sir Commander, there's a communication request." Just when half of the allotted ten minutes had passed, a soldier from the Orion Empire suddenly spoke.
"Where is it from?" The commander was surprised.
"Earth, but it's using the empire's military communication band," the soldier replied.
"Connect it," the commander frowned and ordered.
At the next moment, a huge virtual optical screen appeared before him. On the screen was a guy who looked exactly the same as a Caucasian man on Earth, with the exception of having a pair of very strange eyes that seemed to contain boundless energy.
"Tell me where you belong to." The man spoke in a straightforward and forceful manner.
"Who are you?" The commander's eyes flashed coldly as he questioned.
"Commander of the special forces of the Orion Empire, Sadranskar-Jon," the white man on the screen replied calmly.
As soon as the voice fell, the commander who was sitting in the chair immediately jumped up as if there were needles under his butt. He saluted the Orion Empire military salute to the white man on the screen and reported loudly.
"Commander of the Orion Empire's Seventh Battle Fleet under the Southern Exploration Corps, First Platoon, Olejna. Greetings, sir."
From his series of actions and the way he addressed him, the white man named Sadranskar-Jon's official position was obviously higher than his.
"Southern Exploration Corps? Who gave you the order to allow you to enter the solar system? "Sadranskar-Jon questioned loudly.
"I'm sorry, sir. You shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing. Ask my General Nader," Olejna, who was annoyed by the continuous questioning, replied in a neutral tone.
"Very well," the energy star cluster in the white man's eyes spun rapidly as he said calmly. Then, as the virtual optical screen flashed, it disappeared in front of Olejna's eyes.
"Damn it," Olejna sat back in the captain's seat and cursed in a low voice with a displeased expression.
"How long has it been?" Then, Olejna asked loudly.
"Three minutes and twelve seconds until the deadline," the soldier replied.
"We're not waiting anymore. Attack! "Olawena ordered sternly. Obviously, he was going to use the humans on Earth as his punching bag.
As soon as his order was given, a dozen or so large openings appeared on the outer deck of the ten ships. Large cannons with large calibers were released from the openings and transported the energy to the ships.
In an instant, balls of light blue energy began to brew in the barrel of the cannon.
Two seconds later, a dozen beams of light bombarded the ground below.
Boom!
A violent explosion resounded through the sky. A large amount of smoke and dust rose like a mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosion, causing the already dense fog to become even thicker and murkier.
"The destruction rate of the buildings on the ground is 100%. The city is completely destroyed," the soldier reported.
The same thing happened to the Orion Empire's warships hovering over several other countries.
"Continue." Olea said calmly.
Following which, the 10 warships moved one after another, moving toward the neighboring cities around the destroyed city. With the speed of the Orion Empire's battleships, even in their current slow sailing state, the Orion Empire's battleships were still able to reach the Orion Empire. It would take them less than five minutes to reach the next location.
Fortunately, the humans' counterattack was launched soon after.
In the blue sky, dozens of missiles as thick as an adult's thigh, taller than a person, with radiation symbols printed on the surface, with a long tail flame trailing behind them, split into ten different groups and blasted toward the alien spaceships moving over the European countries.
"Heat source detected. Fifteen in number, estimated to hit our ship in thirty seconds, "in one of the spaceships, a Orion Empire soldier reported.
"Activate the automatic defense system and shoot down those things."
Then, dozens of green laser beams shot out from the Orion Empire's spaceship, instantly hitting the flying nuclear warhead and cutting the nuclear warhead in half like cutting an object.
Boom!
In an instant, the sky lit up, followed by a violent explosion that reverberated in the air. Then, a large dark mushroom cloud rose in the sky, blocking the sun and plunging the world into darkness.
Under the protection of the thick fog, the humans who witnessed all this showed a look of despair on their faces. They clasped their hands in front of their chests, or hugged their loved ones, silently praying to God in their hearts.
It couldn't be helped. The European countries were Catholic areas. No matter what kind of religion they believed in, in general, they believed in "God," so in this case, they would only pray to God. And not to any other god.
It was unknown if the prayers of the believers were really heard or if there was some other situation, but two angels with wings completely composed of energy flew out from the sky above France and Italy respectively, turning into a stream of light that rushed toward the 10 warships.
In response, the humans who saw the angels knelt on the ground one after another and silently recited prayers from the Bible.
While praying, the human's thoughts turned into faith. Faith passed through the void and connected with the angel, turning into energy, causing the angel to become even more powerful. It gave off a gentle glow, comforting the souls of the people who looked at it, and then providing faith even more devoutly.
The cycle continued.
"Hyperdimensional energy body detected," the Orion soldier reported.
"How many dimensions?" the commander asked seriously.
"Four!" the soldier replied.
"Phew." The commander was relieved.
"Activate the energy shield and charge the super quantum beam cannon at the same time. Get ready to fire," the commander ordered.
At the same time, in another warship above Germany, a series of urgent sirens sounded.
"High energy response detected, we are locked on," the soldier on the warship reported anxiously.
"Activate the energy shield and adjust the tilt of the hull at the same time. Get everyone ready to resist the impact," the commander of the warship ordered.
Under his order, an energy shield emitting a faint light appeared outside the hull, enveloping the entire warship. At the same time, the hull quickly deflected and tilted into an inclined plane. Then, in the next moment, a blue energy beam as thick as an adult's body flew out from Germany below the warship and bombarded the inclined plane that the warship had just formed.
"Boom!"
The sound of an explosion was heard.
"The energy shield is weakening, 89%, 85%, 81%, 76% …" the soldier reported continuously.
"Have you identified the type of attack?" the commander asked.
"It's a strong particle energy cannon," the soldier replied.
"Aren't Earthlings an elementary internal civilization? How can there be a strong particle energy cannon! "the commander asked with a frown.
However, no one could answer this question. Therefore, no one else spoke except for the soldier's report.
"… 43%, stop the bombardment," the soldier reported after a while.
"Lock on to the location of the bombardment immediately and destroy it," the commander ordered loudly.
Then, an energy beam flew out from the Orion Empire's warship, which had retracted its energy shield, and bombarded the location where the bombardment had originated.
The energy beam flew very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it arrived at the starting point of the bombardment and landed.
"Boom."
Amidst the violent explosion, a mushroom cloud rose from a mountain forest in Germany. The shockwave spread out and broke the surrounding trees, causing a forest fire to burn and spread.
However, the same counterattack took place in the United Kingdom.
At this moment, an ink-colored beam of light, only as thick as two adult fingers, flew out from the United Kingdom below the warship and landed on the energy shield of the Orion Empire's warship, which had also suddenly deployed its energy shield.
Then, with a crisp crack, the energy shield on the exterior of the Orion Empire's warship shattered violently, exposing the hull to the air again.
However, immediately afterward, a golden energy beam flew out from the direction of the United Kingdom's capital, London, and bombarded the outer wall of the Orion Empire's warship, which was completely unprotected.
Under the bombardment of the golden energy beam, the Orion Empire's warship shook violently. The outer wall began to heat up and turn red. Then, in less than ten seconds, it was penetrated, allowing the golden energy beam to bombard the interior of the warship.
"Boom."
Then, there was the same violent explosion, but a large ball of blazing fire appeared on the alien warship.
Then, the golden beam changed from a direct bombardment to a horizontal sweep. Like an inexperienced boning apprentice, the beam moved slowly and cut through the entire warship. In just over a minute, the golden energy beam completely cut through the alien warship.
"Boom."
An even more violent explosion came from the Orion Empire's warship. Finally, the warship seemed to have lost its power. Amidst the continuous explosions, the warship tilted and fell to the ground.
At this point, the United Kingdom has won the first battle since the start of the war.
At the same time, as if stimulated, the two angels, who were soaring high in the sky, deftly dodging the energy attacks launched by the alien warship, quickly rushed to the front of the alien warship. They raised the greatsword in their hands, which seemed to be burning with white flames, and slashed at the warship's energy shield.
"Creak, creak …"
An ear-piercing sound rang from the intersection of the two warships.
The angels ignored the noise and raised their greatsword again, slashing down again.
Once, twice, thrice … the cycle repeated.
But it didn't take long for the angels to give up their somewhat foolish behavior. Because at this moment, a team of five fully armed Orion Empire soldiers flew out from a landing port and flew at high speed toward the angels, who were like insects to the warship.
