Chapter 833: The First Battle of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance (1)

Meanwhile, Xiuluo Holy Star, "Tianqiong" Shipyard Area, Central Command Tower.

On the holographic star map, the chaotic shadows representing the barrier have completely vanished, replaced by the clearly marked Xiuluo Holy Star and the defensive forces surrounding it.

Those eight scarlet enemy ship blips are clearly exposed outside the planetary defense perimeter.

Yingzhou calmly sweeps across the star map, his gaze finally fixing on those eight red dots.

His voice, through the loudspeakers, rings out clearly in the command tower, on every Star Alliance warship, and in the communication devices of every soldier on the ground who has entered their combat stations.

"Do you see them clearly, warriors? These are the jackals coveting our home!"

"The barrier is open; there is no turning back!"

"Target locked—all invading enemies!"

"Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance fleet... fire!"

Outer space of Xiuluo Holy Star, Weiguang Fleet warship "Qingsuanzhe Hao", close-in weapon system control station.

The young gunner Karl is drenched in sweat, his fingers pressed hard against the fire button, his eyes fixed on the rapidly enlarging silhouettes of the enemy ships on the targeting screen, which bear the crossed-tool emblem.

"Damn it... these natives... how is it possible... they actually have a fleet?!"

The gunnery sergeant beside him is much steadier, his voice roaring hoarsely.

"Shut up! Karl! Lock onto that frigate! Take out its engines! Don't let the torpedoes get near the capital ship!"

Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance, "Indomitable" Dreadnought-class light cruiser, close-in weapon system array control section.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

Afudao's roar explodes in the communication channel, drowning out the growl of the hull engines and the sound of alarms.

He sees several scout boats of the Weiguang Fleet cruising at the edge of their range, attempting to scan for weaknesses in the "Indomitable's" void shields.

Old grudges and new hatreds surge into his heart instantly! What kind of bullshit scouting! They are all jackals wanting to bite Xiuluo Holy!

As Yingzhou issues the order to draw swords, Afudao, fueled by three years of pent-up rage, slams the control stick down and pulls the firing trigger!

"Zzz-wum—!!!"

The triple-barreled laser close-in weapon system instantly erupts with three blinding laser beams, each as thick as a water bucket!

The beams tear through the void, crossing the distance in a ten-thousandth of a second!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three beams slam fiercely into the side shield of a Weiguang Fleet light scout boat almost simultaneously!

The shield shatters with a roar!

The beams, their momentum undiminished, strike the hull directly!

The scout ship's armor is melted, and a violent secondary explosion occurs in its internal structure!

Blinding fire and tumbling debris bloom instantly in the cold starry sky.

"Well done! Afudao!"

Dekashi's cheer rings out in the channel, but he does not relax in the slightest.

"Watch out! Enemy capital ship main battery charging! The target... is us!"

"Enemy ship firing!"

Inside the bridge of the Weiguang Fleet's "Qingsuanzhe Hao", the radar officer's report sounds.

Major General Jialuo sees that the opponent's firepower is not a bit weaker than his own, and immediately gives the order.

"Counterattack! Main battery volley! Target the enemy capital ships! Saturated missile coverage! Fighter squadrons! Launch! Tear through their anti-aircraft net!"

"Fire! Free fire! Target the enemy capital ship groups! Torpedo boat squadrons! Intercept and attack! Frigates provide cover! War Hounds! Alicia Airborne! Prepare for assault landing on the enemy capital ships!"

Angron's voice also explodes on the bridge of the "Indomitable", his massive battle intent sweeping through the entire ship via the will-link!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The macro-cannon arrays of the three Weiguang Fleet capital battleships fire first!

Massive, solid rune bullets, laden with destructive kinetic energy, fly toward the "Indomitable" and the "Qimingxing"!

The laser cannon arrays of the cruisers and destroyers fire simultaneously, dense beams flying toward the Star Alliance fleet!

Almost at the same time!

The main batteries of the "Indomitable" and the "Qimingxing" Lunar-class cruisers—the immensely powerful lance arrays—also jet out torrents of scorching white-gold, stabbing toward the battleships at the forefront of the Weiguang Fleet!

The Sword-class frigates and Cobra-class destroyers harass the enemy's flanks with dense laser cannon fire and screaming torpedoes!

The pitch-black universe is instantly lit up!

Countless blinding beams crisscross, tearing through the darkness!

Macro-cannon shells collide with the torrents of lances, erupting into a dazzling energy storm!

Torpedoes, trailing long tails of flame, weave through the dense interception fire net, either being blown up in mid-air or exploding against shields and armor!

The ship-borne shields and void shields of both sides flicker wildly under the violent attacks, energy readings soaring!

Alarms for shield overload echo inside every warship!

"Qingsuanzhe Hao" fighter ejection tunnel.

"For Fengqi! For Bode Coin! Tear them to pieces!"

The fighter squadron captain roars in the communication channel.

One by one, the ferocious-looking Fengqi attack aircraft are violently pushed out of the mother ship by electromagnetic catapults, their engines spewing ghostly blue exhaust as they fly toward the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance fleet, blotting out the sky!

Behind the main group are more numerous, smaller escort fighters.

"Indomitable" anti-aircraft command center.

"Enemy fighter group! Numbering over 1000! Incoming from direction Alpha-7!"

The anti-aircraft commander's voice is hoarse.

"All close-in weapon systems! Anti-aircraft missiles! Free fire! Shoot down every one you can! Alicia Airborne! Prepare to intercept boarding pods!"

Angron's orders were passed down layer by layer.

The screen in front of Afudao was instantly flooded with dense signals of enemy aircraft!

His eyes were bloodshot, an unconscious low growl escaped his throat, his hands gripped the control stick tightly, and the gun barrels rotated frantically, spewing Laser Beam after Laser Beam!

Dekashi marked the enemy aircraft clusters and the potential launch trajectories of the assault Landing Pods on the tactical screen, his voice fast and urgent.

"Battery Group A! Concentrate fire to break up that large formation! Battery Group C! Watch the low-altitude incursion on the port side... Look out! Assault Landing Pods have been launched!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just as the fighter groups were drawing fire, the bellies of several cruisers of the Weiguang Fleet suddenly opened, and hundreds of assault boarding pods were ejected from electromagnetic rails!

The tails of these boarding pods spewed dim blue Plasma flames, pushing through the dense anti-aircraft fire, heading toward the hulls of the Indomitable and the Qimingxing!

Many assault Landing Pods were blown up, but with the cover of the Fengqi attack aircraft, quite a few still penetrated the Void Shield.

Port side of the Indomitable, outside the C Zone armor belt.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dozens of Weiguang assault boarding pods pierced the relatively weak port-side armor of the Indomitable!

High temperatures melted through several decks, the hatch doors exploded, and amidst thick smoke and firelight, the fully armed elite Fengqi Star Alliance assault team, clad in dark purple Power Armor, swarmed out!

They held Energy Weapons and Vibrating Blades, let out strange battle cries, killed everyone they saw, and attempted to push into the core areas of the ship's interior!

"Enemy attack! Port side, C7 and C9 sections! Large numbers!"

Alarm sirens blared through the corridors.

The Star Alliance Marine soldiers stationed in the area immediately relied on corridor cover to return fire!

Laser Beams and live ammunition intertwined in the narrow space, and the sounds of explosions, screams, and clashing metal merged into one!

"Hold the line! For the Emperor!"

A Star Alliance sergeant had just finished roaring when his upper body was struck by a Plasma round!

The Fengqi Assault Team's firepower was fierce and their coordination tacit; it looked as if they were about to tear through the defensive line!

Just at this critical moment!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Heavy footsteps echoed from the depths of the corridor!

Amidst the thick smoke and firelight, a massive figure like a moving Fortress crashed out!

It was Zheermakesi!

The Huoxiyang Zhongjiezhe Zhuangjia was as thick as a mountain, and the Salamanders emblem on the shoulder pauldrons reflected in the flames!

The massive Power Hammer in his hand was wreathed in terrifying electric arcs!

"Aliens! Get out of the Emperor's ship!"

Zheermakesi ignored the incoming Energy Weapons, which only left deep scorch marks on the heavy Terminator Armor, and the massive Power Hammer swept out with destructive pressure.

Boom!!!

The three Fengqi assault team members who bore the brunt, along with the cover they were hiding behind, were instantly smashed into a twisted mixture of metal and flesh! Electric arcs jumped, shocking the nearby enemies until they convulsed all over!

Every swing of Zheermakesi's Power Hammer brought about a storm of blood!

In the corridor behind him, more Salamanders Space Marines clad in MK2 Power Armor charged out, instantly overwhelming the invading Fengqi Assault Team!
