The Strongest Interstellar Commander

Chapter 217: Energy Shields And Countermeasures.

Around the Silver Heart Channel, between the First Main Spiral Arm and the Second Main Spiral Arm, on the defensive line on the side of the Vera Alliance. 

At this moment, an extraordinary battle involving tens of billions of warships was unfolding at this moment.

One side was the garrison on the Vera Alliance’s Silver Heart Channel defense line, with a force of 10 billion Level 4 Civilization warships.

The other side was the expeditionary force of the Zola Alliance, with a force of 48 billion Level 4 Civilization warships and 2 billion Level 5 Civilization warships.

Energy bombs and beams of various colors filled in the entire channel, completely illuminating the dark, lightless channel.

Due to the size of the channel, only 10 billion warships on both sides were directly fighting each other. However, this number alone completely filled the cross-section of the entire channel.

The only difference was that there were still 40 billion battleships behind the Zola Alliance. Once the warships on the front line were damaged or destroyed, there would be warships to immediately fill the vacancies.

On the other hand, the defenders of the Vera Alliance did not have any back ups. Once there was a gap in their defense line, they could only spread their warships to fill the gap.

It was because of this, when the battle reached the 10th day, the defense line on the Vera Alliance side was worse off than at the beginning. They had already lost as many as 1.5 billion warships.

On the Zola Alliance’s side, because they had enough back up, they still had 10 billion warships on their front line; maintaining the largest firepower possible inside the channel!

Inside the Battle Star, Oleg frowned at the battle ahead.

If it goes on like this, let alone three months, it would be good if he can hold on for a month.

The enemies could pull out and simply replace the gap. But what about him? It’s been 10 days and his soldiers have not slept for 10 days!

Although most of the people in the Vera Alliance were not as fragile as Humans and they could bear forgoing sleep for a few days, after 10 consecutive days of a high-intensity battle, they were inevitably very tired.

However, Oleg can still maintain their current position in a short period of time, at least until the 15th day.

At this moment, there were about 7.5 billion remaining warships on the Vera Alliance’s defense line. At the same time, the remaining soldiers had also entered a period of extreme fatigue. The combat effectiveness of the entire garrison had been greatly reduced.

The Commander-in-Chief of the expeditionary force belonging to the Zola Alliance was keenly aware of this, and he decisively ordered for 2 billion Level 5 Civilization warships of the Buckland Republic to attack immediately. They will break through from the center of the enemy’s defense line, and expand behind the enemy’s back. It would then become a two-pronged situation!

An hour later, inside a Battle Star on the Vera defense line.

“Commander Oleg, the attack formation of the Zola Alliance has changed. The warships in the central part are retreating!”

The Adjutant’s report immediately swept away the tiredness on Oleg’s body, as he stared at the projection for a long time.

“No. The warships in the center are not retreating, they’re giving way. The Zola Alliance is about to do something big! It is most likely the warships from the Buckland Republic!”

Oleg immediately analyzed the abnormality of the Zola Alliance. If it was in the past, this would not be a big problem.

He could just send Level 5 Civilization warships of his own.

But now what? The problem was that all of the Vera Federation legions had been transferred to the main battlefield, and only the Level 4 Civilizations legions under the Vera Alliance were here.

Fortunately, although the Level 5 Civilization warships had been transferred, the defense facilities on the defense line were built with Level 5 Civilization technology.

“Quick, immediately mobilize all of the defense platforms on the defense line. Prepare to concentrate fire and block the opponent’s central breakthrough. Let the Level 4 warships in the middle move away. They will just get destroyed facing the Level 5 warships!”

“Yes!”

However, the order was issued a little late. Half an hour later, when half of the fleet in the center of the defense line had evacuated, the 2 billion Buckland Republic warships of the Zola Alliance had already rushed out in an assault formation!

The Level 4 warships, which had not yet completed their evacuation, began to fire while evacuating, in an attempt to delay the opponent’s breakthrough speed.

Unfortunately, all of this was meaningless. The weapons of Level 4 warships could not cause any damage to the Energy Shields of Level 5 warships!

Be it energy bombs or beams, the moment they hit the Buckland Republic warships, they seem like to be swallowed by something, and all of the attacks would disappear instantly. 

“Have those warships leave at the fastest speed immediately. As I said, they have no chance against Level 5 warships!”

“Yes, Commander Oleg!”

Alas, the 2 billion Buckland Republic warships had already entangled them. How could these Level 4 warships leave, even if they want to?

Looking at this scene, Oleg knew that these fleets could not be saved.

“Change formation and have all of the defense platforms fire at the enemy fleet in the center!”

Oleg gritted his teeth and ordered his Adjutant.

“Commander, we still have more than 500 million of our warships there!”

“Shut up. If we don’t fire now, we won’t only lose 500 million, but the entire line of defense will collapse. Fire immediately!”

“Yes, Commander Oleg!”

After being yelled at by Oleg, the Adjutant came to his senses. He also understood the reasoning. He just hesitated, since he was abruptly ordered to shoot hundreds of millions of their own warships. 

When the order was given, after a few seconds, all of the defense platforms immediately started to attack.

These defensive platforms were not energy bullets or energy beams, but rather physical projectiles, which was somewhat similar to rail guns.

However, it was still very different from a rail gun. A rail gun only shoots a simple solid projectile, while the defense platform of the Vera Alliance was completely different. The internal structure of the projectile was extremely complex. The moment it hits its target, the front end of the projectile would release a super small one-way front Energy Shield!

When the projectile hits the warship of the Buckland Republic, the one-way Energy Shield would be the first to come into contact with its Energy Shield. The former’s purpose was to cancel and destroy the opponent’s Energy Shield, so that the projectile could pierce through before the opponent’s Energy Shield recovers. 

This was a commonly used attack method between the battles of Level 5 Civilizations, as it could effectively attack warships with Energy Shields.

With the arrival of a large number of attacks, the assault speed of the Buckland Republic warships suddenly halted. Under this wave of attacks, 1 million warships were destroyed.

However, the Buckland Republic warships were still Level 5 warships. Naturally, they wouldn’t be beaten so easily. At this time, they simply ignored the Level 4 warships around them, and launched a fierce attack on the defensive facilities on the Vera Alliance’s defense line instead!
