Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
As a first-rate colonial planet, Planet Golden Gate had many guards stationed there. Ever since the Long Arc Constellation incident, the planet's security level had been raised to the level of war. The fleet stationed there was patrolling around Planet Golden Gate.
According to the rules, there were a total of four layers of surveillance. The outermost layer was the energy detection buoys, and the second layer was the sentry battleships patrolling in the distance. These two layers of surveillance were very far away from Planet Golden Gate, and if there was an enemy attack, the fleet would have enough time to react.
Sentry battleship D-3018 patrolled around the periphery, and the members of the radar monitoring team stared at the screen, analyzing and processing the data of the buoys in the area. Occasionally, there would be normal spaceships passing by the buoys, increasing the workload of the monitoring team. Even the slightest movement would trigger the sensitive nerves of the monitoring team.
The monitoring work was very boring, and thus, they had to take shifts. Even so, the repetitive work still made the monitoring team feel uneasy. Furthermore, the manual stated that during high security, the members on duty were not allowed to chat with each other.
At this moment, the room was silent, and only the buzzing sound of the system processing the data could be heard.
A member of the monitoring team was numbly processing the report from the buoys. Right at this moment, a set of data labeled 'High Danger Dark Red' suddenly enlarged on his screen, and an ear-piercing alarm rang out. This member of the monitoring team was shocked and almost fell off his chair.
"Warning! Abnormal data! Buoys cr- 20849 have detected a large scale fluctuation in space! "
"Warning! Buoys cr- 20849 have lost connection! "
The entire monitoring team's attention was instantly attracted, and this member of the monitoring team was flustered. He hurriedly opened the interface of the radar and looked at the last few images sent by the buoys before they lost connection.
At the edge of the radar interface, numerous light dots appeared, and every light dot represented the energy signature of a spaceship. With a single glance, it was impossible to tell how many spaceships had appeared.
The direction that this huge fleet was heading towards was exactly where they were!
The expressions of the monitoring team changed drastically.
This member of the monitoring team's mind went blank, and his hands and feet turned cold. His lips were trembling, and he was almost scared silly.
"Enemy, enemy attack!"
"Report it quickly!"
"Leave this area quickly!"
At this moment, a thick beam of light traversed the distance and accurately hit the D-3018 sentry ship. This was the Dark-star mothership's main cannon. Its range and power were extremely high, and it used a single high-energy reactor as ammunition.
The shield was directly pierced through, and the beam hit the sentry ship. The light lit up from the inside, expanding and exploding from the inside out. The sentry ship disintegrated, turning into floating garbage in the universe.
Very soon, a huge fleet appeared and passed by the sentry ship wreckage. The huge Dark-star mothership was surrounded by the fleet and slowly moved forward. Around it were thousands of Dark-star battleships of various models, like ants protecting their queen. The Dark-star mothership itself was a mobile base.
The same scene played out in the other four directions.
In order to attack Planet Golden Gate, Dark-star had dispatched five motherships!
In the command room of one of the Dark-star motherships, Degulish looked at the radar screen and said slowly, "Godora's scouting range is not bad. When we arrived at Planet Golden Gate, the garrison had already reacted and formed a defensive formation. It's a pity that our surprise attack was not successful."
However, this time, he did not have any hopes of a successful surprise attack. Godora was prepared, and it would not be so easy. Furthermore, they had dispatched half of their forces, so there was no difference whether it was a surprise attack or not.
Not long later, Planet Golden Gate appeared in their sights, and the other four Dark-star motherships also appeared in other directions of Planet Golden Gate. Godora's Planet Golden Gate garrison had completely shrunk back and activated dozens of Vichy Magic Shields to protect Planet Golden Gate. The garrison was only one-fourth or one-fifth of the Dark-star fleet, and it was as though they were surrounded by a pack of wolves.
Five motherships, five different directions. Dark-star had surrounded Planet Golden Gate.
Every mothership had a commander, and the overall commander of the operation was Degulish.
"Fire!" Degulish raised his hand and gave the order. He did not waste any time talking to Godora.
The battle erupted!
In the vacuum of space, there was no sound. Countless particle beams, guided missiles, and high-energy lasers were fired from all directions. The attacks were continuous, and before the first wave had subsided, another wave was launched. Countless explosions occurred in the outer space of Planet Golden Gate, and Godora's fleet was bombarded.
Dozens of Vichy Magic Shields were trembling non-stop, and ripples could be seen continuously, as though they were about to shatter at any moment.
Godora's fleet was in a completely defensive position, maintaining their shields and holding on bitterly.
Degulish sneered, "Trying to stall for time and wait for reinforcements? Dream on."
Dark-star had come prepared. Before the operation, their intelligence network had paid attention to the garrison. Although Planet Golden Gate was a first-tier colonial planet and had many garrisoned troops, it was not enough in front of the troops sent by Dark-star. Just the number of troops was enough to suppress them, and the performance of Godora's battleships was not comparable to theirs.
The gap between them was not large.
On the other hand, Dark-star had also paid attention to the movements of Godora's fleet. They did not make any unusual movements and remained at their stations. As such, even if Godora's fleet wanted to reinforce Planet Golden Gate through Juberly Hub's stargate, they would need some time to travel. Dark-star had calculated their firepower and knew that they would be able to destroy Planet Golden Gate's garrison before the reinforcements arrived.
"Continue fighting, don't stop." Degulish's face was cold.
With the advantage in numbers, he did not plan to engage in a boarding battle. He only wanted to use absolute firepower to destroy everything. The goal of this attack on Planet Golden Gate was not to massacre but to baptize Planet Golden Gate with firepower. He wanted to flatten the surface, destroy all the facilities, and completely destroy this colonial planet.
At the same time, chaos broke out on the surface of Planet Golden Gate because of this attack. Countless people rushed to the dock, fighting to be the first to escape. However, the troops stationed at the dock had received orders from their superiors to lock down the dock and forbid any civilian spaceships from taking off.
This action instantly ignited the anger and panic of the citizens. They quarreled with the troops at the dock, and there were even bloody clashes. The scene was chaotic, and everyone wanted to escape from the planet. However, they were all stopped by the troops.
"Why are we not allowed to escape?!"
"There is a battle outside. Do you want us to die with you?!"
"I have the freedom to leave this planet!"
The soldiers stationed at the dock did not move at all, and their faces were solemn. Honestly speaking, they were also very afraid that the defending fleet would be destroyed by DarkStar and that they would be wiped out as well. However, they had received training to suppress the fear in their hearts at critical moments and strictly follow orders.
The orders from their superiors were not to allow any Planet Golden Gate citizen to leave the dock at this time. Firstly, the firepower outside was too fierce, and the moment a civilian spaceship left the protection of the protective shield, it would definitely be destroyed. Secondly, the civilian spaceship would disrupt the battle, and if it collided with Godora's fleet, it could cause a chain reaction that could cause the situation to collapse. Furthermore, there might be Dark-star spies who had infiltrated the citizens and were preparing to destroy their defenses from the inside. Thus, although it was too much to forbid the citizens of Planet Golden Gate from escaping, the troops stationed at the dock decided to reduce the risk. Only when the defense line was about to collapse would they bring the citizens to escape.
Unable to break through the blockade of the military, many people collapsed to the ground with fear written all over their faces. They regretted not leaving the colonial planet earlier and hiding in the universe.
The local galactic news channel of Planet Golden Gate made use of the observation equipment to broadcast the battle outside the atmosphere to the entire Star System. The reporter's body trembled, and he suppressed the fear in his heart as he reported with a stutter.
The local news quickly spread throughout the galaxy, and many galactic channels broadcasted the situation on Planet Golden Gate. After the tragedy of Long Arc, Dark-star had extended its claws to another planet, and countless organizations in the Shattered Star Ring paid attention to this matter.
Two days ago, Godora had just announced that the Mutation Disaster had been dealt with successfully. However, this attack was a huge blow to the head, and it brought a new wave of fear to Godora.
The battle outside the atmosphere was like a raging fire, and the troops stationed at Planet Golden Gate had already lost close to two hundred battleships. They had lost more than ten Vichy Magic Shields, and it seemed as though they would be defeated at any moment. A portion of the attacks had already passed through the gaps between the shields, creating mushroom clouds on the surface of Planet Golden Gate.
Many of the cities on the surface had activated their protective shields, and they had not suffered any actual damage. However, the moment the fleet outside the atmosphere was defeated, the protective shields of the cities would not be able to last for long. Rows of anti-air railguns extended out from the ground and aimed at the sky. The missile silos were also activated, and the atmosphere was tense.
If Dark-star broke through the atmosphere, Planet Golden Gate would have no choice but to launch their final counterattack. However, if even the fleet stationed at Planet Golden Gate was defeated, these defensive measures would only be able to scratch Dark-star's itch.
"Increase the firepower. They won't be able to hold on for much longer." Degulish observed the situation, and his lips curled up into a cold smile.
Right at this moment, the artificial intelligence system of the mothership suddenly sounded an alarm.
"Warning! A large number of unknown energy sources are approaching rapidly! Number unknown! "
The moment the alarm sounded, and before Degulish could even react, streams of hyperdrive light could be seen flying over from the direction of Juberly Hub at the edge of Planet Golden Gate. They came from afar before stopping. Battleships of all shapes and sizes arrived at the scene continuously, forming a massive alliance fleet. Clearly, they were not here to help Dark-star.
The exterior of the armor of these battleships was painted with logos. There were more than ten different logos, indicating their identities.
"Sky Ring Army, Purple Gold Army, Blades Army, Triumph Legion … they are all super large mercenary groups from the nearby Star Systems!"
Degulish's eyes widened, and he was stunned.
Wait a minute, why did this group of mercenaries suddenly appear? Where did they come from?
Not only him, but many of the leaders of the other organizations who were watching the live broadcast were also shocked. They sat up straight, and a playful expression appeared on their faces.
Godora had actually prepared an ambush?
On the flagship of the Sky Ring Army, the leader of the Sky Ring Army, Gureja, ended his conversation with the director of Godora's War Bureau. He turned around and looked at the battlefield on Planet Golden Gate, stroking his steel-like beard as he chuckled.
