Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 101: Star Fortress System

The Virgo Fleet, comprising five million warships, each nearly a planetary fortress, stretches for two thousand kilometers. These warships are divided into over 500 squadrons. Each squadron first surveys globular clusters, and then, except for the Maguan'er Globular Cluster, the warship squadrons from the other globular clusters regroup with the Maguan'er Globular Cluster fleet.

"Reporting to the commander, there are no anomalies in the Mayar globular cluster."

"Reporting to the Commander, there are no anomalies in the Minotaur globular cluster."

"Commander, an anomaly has appeared in the Maguar globular cluster. More than two hundred stars are missing from the surface of the black hole that trapped the 'Shadow Civilization.' The intense gamma-ray burst we discovered should be the result of the destruction of these stars."

"Oh, okay, the 'Shadowlight Civilization' is still trapped."

"Yes. The 'Shadowlight Civilization' here seems to have clashed with a civilization fleet. Commander-in-Chief, these are five locating beacons we salvaged along the way. These five locating beacons should belong to that civilization fleet."

"Studa, you are the fleet's most authoritative scientific administrator. Judging from this positioning beacon, what level do you think this civilization has reached?"

"Commander, we have just analyzed these location beacons. In terms of materials, this civilization has reached a fairly high level of technology. If we were to compare it with the Empire's materials technology, it should belong to the ninth level of the Empire's materials technology."

"Level nine? That's pretty impressive. The highest level for materials in the Empire is only level ten."

"Yes, Commander."

"So, can you reverse-analyze and track this civilization using this location beacon?"

"Commander, it's a pity that these positioning beacons are only used for navigation in globular clusters. We just scanned this galaxy and found no similar positioning beacons."

“I just examined the black hole that absorbs the rays. This civilization apparently moved a massive star and then destroyed it to create a black hole.”

"Yes, Commander."

"Studa, do you think this civilization is capable of intergalactic travel?"

"Personally, I think this civilization should be able to."

"Hmm, that's a bit troublesome. Mudar, relay my orders: I need to establish a Star Barrier System. I need to monitor this galaxy, the Milky Way, and the Triangulum, as well as their respective subsidiary galaxies. Closely observe any anomalies in these galaxies and their subsidiary galaxies. Also, issue a galaxy-wide announcement: reward those who report this civilization, and strike and destroy anyone who conceals information or fails to cooperate. Send some warships to patrol around this galaxy; any technologically advanced civilization must be nipped in the bud."

"As ordered."

The Earth Empire's hidden fleet naturally received the Virgo Fleet's galaxy-wide broadcast.

Through the "Eye of the Stars," the Earth Empire discovered that the Virgo Fleet's five million warships were gradually becoming busy, with many warships flying in various directions of the Andromeda Galaxy.

The Virgo Fleet is constructing what is known as the Star Barrier System, which consists of one hundred stars orbiting a massive spherical mechanical device with numerous holes.

The Virgo Fleet built one hundred such star barrier systems! That's ten thousand stars!

Of course, the Virgo Fleet naturally guards the hundred Star Fortress systems with numerous warships.

Earth Empire, three-location instant messaging is in progress.

"Dean Zhou, what should we do?"

"The Virgo Fleet has actually built a hundred giant systems. I think these giant systems are not just observation systems. If they were just observation systems, there would be no need to build a hundred of them. So these giant systems are very likely also offensive weapons."

"One hundred suns! If that were a giant weapon, how large would its attack range be?"

"I'm not sure. One hundred suns would mean an attack range that's faster than light and long-range. I think these giant systems could attack all the galaxies in our Local Group."

"what?!"

"Dean Zhou, there's something I don't understand. You just mentioned faster-than-light, longer-range strikes. Does this faster-than-light, longer-range strike involve the Klein space?"

"Oh!"

"Dean Zhou, what's wrong?"

"Of the 10,000 stars they're rapidly moving, some of them should contain our deployed smart probes!"

"Yes, although the smart detectors are invisible, they will definitely notice the anomaly once they are sucked into the holes of the giant system."

"It's possible that if our smart detectors get sucked in, it will cause these giant systems to malfunction."

"Ha, if that's the case, that's a good thing. Speaking of faster-than-light long-range strikes, I think this strike should be through the Klein space. I can't be sure yet; we'll only know after seeing this giant system in actual combat."

"These giant warships are starting to bully people."

Through the "Eye of the Stars," the Imperial fleet discovered that the Virgo warships, scattered throughout the star system, were using Klein space travel, warp drive, and powerful warships to invade and destroy technologically advanced civilizations in the system.

These Virgo warships emit gamma rays that, while inflexible, are extremely powerful, capable of destroying large warships and planets of other civilizations. Against technologically advanced civilizations, these Virgo warships are like wolves, rampaging with ferocity. If the opponent is strong enough, the warships will directly destroy the sun of the civilization's home planet, and the gamma rays from the star's explosion will naturally destroy all planets and satellites.

In the Andromeda Galaxy, devastation is everywhere; many civilizations have been plundered, attacked, and destroyed.

Thus, the Earth Empire was exposed by several civilizations that had been defeated and unable to cope. In particular, the Virgo Fleet had obtained the hour-and-a-half-long documentary that the Empire had previously produced, and the information that the Earth Empire's fleet had previously had in the star system was collected and summarized at the Virgo Fleet headquarters.

Of the one hundred star barrier systems constructed by the Virgo Fleet, one system began to operate. Within this system, the one hundred stars surrounding the giant spherical mechanical device emitted a plasma stream ten thousand kilometers in diameter. This plasma stream was injected into the holes of the spherical mechanical device, making it appear as if the one hundred stars were powering it.

"Reporting to the commander, we have located the Earth Empire's allies, the Sandstars and the Protoss. According to the Starfort system's detection, they are indeed cunning, scattered throughout the stars."

"Mudar, activate another Star Barrier system and destroy those Sand Star and Protoss planets."

"As ordered!"

A star barrier system has begun to operate.

One hundred streams of plasma were rapidly injected into the holes of the spherical mechanical device. At one point, the two hemispheres of the spherical mechanical device separated, shooting out a huge fireball into the sky. Each huge fireball was a star. The star suddenly disappeared, and then a second, a third, and more stars were projected. Within ten minutes, this star barrier system launched ten stars in a row.

The ten stars disappeared immediately after leaving the spherical mechanical device.

When the first star disappeared after being projected, the Earth Empire fleet sensed something was wrong and immediately confirmed that the star was launched from the Klein space via a long-range attack.

The first star that struck a Terran planet was the target of the other stars that were projected onto it. The other stars that were projected struck Protoss and Terran planets directly.

In ten minutes, a star barrier system launched ten stars in a row, which was incredibly fast.

Then, the other ninety-eight star barrier systems suddenly activated, projecting ninety-eight stars. Apart from the star barrier system responsible for observation, the other ninety-nine systems attacked the Andromeda Galaxy with thirty systems, the Milky Way with twenty, the Triangulum Galaxy with ten, and the Triangulum Galaxy with the remaining thirty-nine, each targeting a satellite galaxy of one of these three galaxies!

The Earth Empire, the Lunar Empire, and the Andromeda Galaxy Empire's fleet all had their planet "Halo Garden" hidden within a star. The Virgo Fleet's long-range stellar strikes were naturally not aimed at the Earth Empire or the Lunar Empire.

The Virgo Fleet, utilizing ninety-nine star-barrier systems, launches a large number of stars in all directions to strike advanced civilizations throughout these star systems from a distance!

"How to do?"

"This Virgo fleet has an incredibly powerful ability to project stars. If we don't intervene, the Terrans and Protoss will essentially be wiped out."

"But if we make a move, the Earth Empire will be exposed. We don't even know what other powerful weapons they have."

"Yes, let's decide as soon as possible."

"Thomas, you are the commander-in-chief, you make the decision."

"Dean Zhou, you saved humanity during the Earth Era. This time, it's your turn to make the decision."

"Time is of the essence, so I won't stand on ceremony. In the Andromeda Galaxy, we'll first save the Protoss and Humans, then launch neutron stars and stars to attack those mega-systems and the Virgo Fleet. In the Triangulum Galaxy, all fleets, form the star 'Halo Garden,' and immediately use Klein Space for long-distance travel to support us. As for the Milky Way Galaxy, leave it for now and use it as a backup force for attack."

"Okay. That's settled. Let's get started."

"As ordered."

Neither the Terrans nor the Protoss are aware of the impending stellar strike.

The 180 fleets protecting the Terrans and Protoss in the Andromeda Galaxy, except for the Alpha Fleet which remained hidden within its star, all leaped out of their stars and used warp drive to reach distant locations near the respective Terran and Protoss planets. Just as the hypersonic strike stars reached normal space, neutron warplanes were launched, blocking their path. These stars were drawn to the neutron stars, causing continuous thermonuclear explosions within them.

The humans and gods were only just awakened when their warships took off one after another, quickly moving their respective planets away and jumping into warp drive space to avoid being struck by the stars.

After rescuing the humans and protoss, each fleet rapidly deployed 179 neutron stars from different locations, using Klein space to launch long-range attacks on the one hundred star barrier systems and the Virgo fleet. Then, each fleet conducted warp drive, deploying two more stars to launch long-range attacks on the star barrier system escort fleets and various local fleets within the system.

One hundred and seventy-nine fleets, launching neutron stars and stars, all in one smooth motion.

After leaving behind a small escort fleet, the Lunar Empire, consisting of 111 fleets, emerged from their respective stars in the Triangle Galaxy and quickly formed the star system "Halo Garden," comprising 111 halo suns. They began space travel in the Klein region, preparing to coordinate with the Earth Empire fleet in the Andromeda Galaxy to strike the Virgo fleet.
