The attack came abruptly!
Beam after beam of ion cannons exploded on the golden shield of Godora's frigate, but a dozen or so managed to slip through the gaps between the frigates and landed on the surface of Blue Star.
The beams of light became smaller and smaller in their field of vision. Some fell into the sea, causing small waves, and some exploded into mini mushroom clouds on the ground. At least from the perspective of outer space, the movement was very small.
"Activate the Vichy Magic Shield!" Barette roared.
Godora's frigate fleet changed their formation and gathered in the direction of the attack. They shot out golden rays, forming ten semi-circular golden shields in front of the fleet. They were very tight and basically covered the entire direction of Blue Star.
Immediately after, Nakapu's fleet fired another wave of ion cannons, all of which landed on the shield. The ion cannons were fired continuously, like a rain of light. The golden shield was hit countless times, and energy ripples continuously appeared on it.
"Increase the power of the shield, hold on for me!" Barette waved his hands continuously. "Don't just take the hit, counterattack, counterattack!"
Godora's fleet locked onto the radar target and also started to attack beyond the horizon, shooting out golden lasers into the empty space.
Both fleets could not see each other with the naked eye. The golden and green lasers were exchanged back and forth, and the battle was very intense. If not for the vacuum environment, the people of Blue Star would have been able to hear the sounds of the battle between the fleets. It was like continuous thunder.
Barette quickly notified the upper echelons and also reported the situation to Nagojin.
…
At this time, on the surface of Blue Star, the Six Nations had already discovered the battle in outer space through the satellite and were all panicking.
Although they did not have a clear understanding of Dark-star, they had already learned from Nagojin that this was a strong intergalactic enemy that could easily crush them. The Six Nations did not dare delay and immediately started to evacuate, allowing the refugees to enter the Sky Fortress underground.
During the first wave of attack, more than ten ion cannons hit the surface of the planet. Most of them landed in the wilderness, and the one closest to the Six Nations hit the outskirts of a city. It was as if a green thunderbolt had descended from the sky.
Boom!
A small mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and a large hole was blasted in the ground. The resulting shockwave flattened a street, and dust filled the air.
The shelter also began to evacuate, and the tense atmosphere finally turned into panic. Although the refugees did not know what had happened, they could not stop their imagination from running wild. The crowd was too crowded, and a stampede occurred. There were too many refugees, and many of them did not have the chance to receive the suppressant. Coincidentally, the mutation virus acted up again, and a commotion quickly ensued.
The guards hurriedly intervened, but there was small-scale chaos everywhere, and it was difficult to manage at the same time. Bennett's face was solemn as he constantly gave orders and managed to stabilize the situation.
The players had triggered an emergency mission. The mission description stated that Blue Star had been attacked by a fleet, and the request was to help evacuate the people in the Sanctuary. Almost every player subconsciously looked up at the sky. After looking carefully for a while, they really could see a faint light flashing in the sky.
"Are there warships firing at each other outside the Blue Star?"
"Too bad I can't see it. F * ck you!"
Curiosity was like a feather that tickled the hearts of the players. The itch in their hearts was unbearable. The feeling of knowing that there was a high-level war in outer space, yet being unable to participate or witness it was too torturous.
There would be someone to deal with the chaos in the Sanctuary, and it was not within Han Xiao's consideration. Although Han Xiao had triggered the same emergency mission as the players, the experience reward was too little (to him), and he was not interested. He turned on his communicator and contacted Nagojin.
"What's the situation now?"
"The fleet is currently fighting with Dark-star, and I don't know when the reinforcements will arrive. I have to go and help." In the image, Nagojin was hurriedly boarding a spaceship, and his tone was urgent.
"Then I'll hold back for now. Don't turn off your communicator, and maintain contact." Han Xiao nodded. With Nagojin and Godora's fleet, he did not need to join in the fray.
He was not surprised by Dark-star's sudden attack. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief. He had a feeling that 'it's finally here'. He looked at the mercenaries beside him, and they all looked nervous.
Dark-star's fleet would not wantonly destroy planets. This was an important piece of information that Han Xiao knew. With this as the premise, there was a high chance that the enemy would not land. Instead, they would attack from outer space. Therefore, what they had to do was to reduce their losses.
Furthermore, Han Xiao guessed that Dark-star's fleet was hiding in Blue Star. The enemy might have known that he and Nagojin were here. After all, Dark-star knew the importance of information and would definitely have investigated every target they were going to attack.
Han Xiao had experienced such an incident in his previous life, and he knew the crux of the matter. He quickly ordered the mercenaries to drive their own spaceships to the Six Nations' territory. Although these rented spaceships had limited combat capabilities, they could activate their shields to block the cannon fire from the sky to reduce their losses. The power of these spaceships' ion cannons was very impressive. If he were to take a direct hit with his body, the damage would be around 2,000. If it were the current players, one shot would be enough to kill a group of children. Of course, he would not be so stubborn. After all, a mechanical suit was not for show. In a battle of this level, only Pugilists dared to run around naked. Who asked them to be so tough?
As such, the overall progress of the mission would not drop too much. To the players, every time Dark-star attacked, it would be a scam that would cause the progress of the mission to drop by a large margin.
Dark-star naturally did not only attack Blue Star. There were also other calamity planets that were attacked at the same time. Han Xiao could not care about the other calamity planets for the time being, but on Blue Star, he could at least reduce his losses and prevent Dark-star from destroying the disaster relief. Otherwise, all the previous construction would be ruined.
"Godora's fleet is blocking the enemy, and Nagojin has gone up. I don't know what the situation is like." Han Xiao rubbed his hands and stared at the real-time image sent back by Nagojin.
He hoped that Godora would be able to force Dark-star's fleet to retreat without him taking action. Dark-star did not know that his strength had increased, so it was better to keep his trump card hidden for as long as possible.
…
Nagojin's spaceship left the atmosphere and immediately saw the ten golden shields in outer space. Godora and Dark-star's fleet were still shooting at each other from afar. He was very experienced and could immediately tell that although the confrontation was very intense, neither side could do anything to the other.
The ion cannons were all blocked by the shields. Even if the shields of some spaceships were destroyed, due to the long distance, they had sufficient time to react. They could let other spaceships take over their positions and wait for the shields to recover before taking over.
Other than the conventional ion cannons, most of the other weapons were not in range. The nuclear homing missiles were destroyed by the ion cannons halfway through. Godora's and Dark-star's fleet's technological level was similar. They did not have any overwhelming weapons, so if they wanted to cause damage to the enemy, they had to close the distance.
Beep beep beep
Barette connected to Nagojin's communicator.
"The shields can't last forever. We can't be like sitting ducks. If this goes on, Dark-star won't have any casualties. I want to close the distance. Nagojin, you attack and crush them!"
"Don't take the risk!" Nagojin shouted. "The situation is in our favor now. As long as we continue to be in a stalemate, Dark-star will naturally retreat."
"What a joke! The size of Dark-star's fleet is similar to ours, but with you around, our strength is enough to suppress them. This is a good opportunity to attack Dark-star! "
Barette shouted. He was an officer of the radical faction. Compared to guarding the calamity planets, he was more inclined to attack Dark-star's armed forces.
Nagojin was about to speak when Barette suddenly exclaimed.
"Wait … the radar shows that the enemy is retreating. They are retreating?"
…
Nakapu's eyes narrowed into slits as he stared at the radar screen. His hands were crossed behind his back, and his fingers subconsciously flicked the hem of his clothes. He shook his head and gave the order. His tone did not fluctuate, and no emotions could be heard.
