Chapter 883: Arrival at Longyou Shuangzixing (1)

Outside the orbit of Longyou Shuangzixing.

The Fengqi Fleet stationed at Longyou was suspended in the orbit of the twin planets.

Surrounding them, a small patrol fleet of the Fengqi Star Alliance was carrying out its daily patrol Task.

The Fengqi soldiers on the Bridge were mostly in a state of routine laxity.

For them, guarding this remote mining star system made encountering a real battle almost impossible.

"Alarm! Unknown warp signal! Large number of signals! Right in the neighboring star sector!"

The sudden sound of the alarm broke the tranquility of the Bridge.

"Quantity... quantity cannot be precisely calculated! They are approaching rapidly!"

The appearance of this alarm sound brought the lax Fengqi soldiers on the Bridge to their senses.

Daring to come and look for trouble with the Fengqi Star Alliance, are they tired of living? It's a perfect chance to find some fun.

"Where did this fleet come from?! Could it be some blind space pirate fleet?"

The Fleet Commander stood up from the command chair and asked the Communications Officer.

"Sir, it should not be a space pirate fleet; the other side is clearly an organized fleet."

"Issue a warning signal! Use the universal code and the Fengqi Star Alliance identification code! Order them to identify themselves immediately and stop approaching! Otherwise, it will be considered a hostile act!"

The Fleet Commander ordered immediately.

"Yes!"

The Communications Officer sent the warning message, but received no response.

"Sir! They... they have no response at all! Their speed is still increasing!"

"Energy readings are still soaring! Their... their ship structure is a model never seen before!"

The Fleet Commander's three eyes narrowed slightly; the visitors were not coming with good intentions.

"All fleet! Level one battle readiness! All weapon systems charge! Maximize shields! Intercept squadron emergency launch! Immediately send an enemy encounter alarm to 'Fengrao Starport'!"

The engines of the Fengqi Fleet warships spat out exhaust flames and began to adjust their formation.

Weapon ports opened one after another, and energy began to converge.

Interceptors flew out of the Cruiser hangars, forming a defensive barrier.

Blood Angels Fleet, Bridge of the Lunar-class Cruiser Angel.

Outside the observation window, Longyou Shuangzixing was constantly enlarging.

Sanguinius stood in the center of the Bridge, a trace of pity on his perfect face.

He felt the pain and despair permeating that planet.

Aoruisitesi stepped forward and, after saluting Sanguinius, said.

"Father, there is a defensive fleet in the orbit of the target planet, which is issuing warnings and entering battle status."

Sanguinius looked at the enemy fleet presented on the star map with his light blue eyes, and said in a calm voice.

"Ignore the warning. These oppressors, these executioners who slaughter the innocent, do not deserve a warning. All fleets, continue forward. Lock onto the enemy's main ships and orbital defense facilities."

Sanguinius's gaze swept across the star map and issued the battle order.

"First Sub-fleet, cut in from the left flank, prioritize clearing the enemy Destroyers."

"Second Sub-fleet, suppress enemy firepower from the right flank."

"Bomber squadron prepare, target: enemy troop assembly areas and heavy weapon platforms on the planetary surface."

"Landing forces, enter the drop pods. Once air superiority is established, force a landing immediately, mop up the remaining enemies, and save the survivors."

The order was instantly understood and executed.

The Blood Angels Fleet began to change formation.

The massive ship cannons began to rotate, calibrate, and charge; the humming sound could be vaguely felt even through the thick deck.

Fengqi Fleet, Bridge of the main warship Border-class Cruiser.

"Sir! They... they have accelerated and charged over! They have deployed into an attack formation!"

The Fleet Commander looked at the fleet on the screen and roared.

"Fire! All ships! Fire at will! Stop them!"

The Fengqi Fleet began its first round of salvo.

Energy beams and Torpedoes tore through the darkness, shooting toward the Blood Angels Fleet.

But most of the attacks hit the void shields, only causing ripples to spread across them.

The few that overloaded the void shields and hit the armor failed to cause fatal damage.

"Their shield strength is too high!"

"Our attacks are almost ineffective!"

The next second, the Macro-cannons and Light Lances of the Blood Angels Fleet fired!

Thick beams of light pierced toward the Fengqi Fleet!

Boom!!!

The ship-borne shield of a Hunter-class Quxujian was torn apart, and the middle of the hull was directly pierced by a Light Lance!

The internal ammunition depot was detonated, and the entire warship turned into a Fireball, with debris scattering in all directions.

Immediately after, another Destroyer was hit by a series of Macro-cannon Rune Bullets, following in the footsteps of the previous Destroyer.

The hull of the Border-class Cruiser began to tremble, and alarm sounds resounded throughout the ship.

"Port side shield overloaded!"

"Third and fourth turrets destroyed!"

"Bulkhead ruptured! Air leaking!"

The Fleet Commander was shaken into grabbing the handrail, watching the light points representing their own ships on the screen blink out, and shouted loudly.

"Where are the interceptors! Make them entangle the enemy!"

Feng Qi's Star Sparrow interceptor squadrons rushed toward the Blood Angels Fleet.

The Blood Angels' Sword-class Frigates and the ship-borne point defense systems' Close-in Weapon Systems and interception lasers opened fire.

Any Star Sparrow interceptor that approached was instantly evaporated into cosmic dust.

"General! A message from Fengrao Starport! They are under heavy attack! They want us to hold the line first!"

"Hold the line? With what are we supposed to hold the line!"

The Fleet Commander watched as another frigate was blown into fragments by the enemy, feeling momentarily dazed.

Just then, a thick Light Lance struck the already heavily damaged Border-class Cruiser!

"No—!"

The Fleet Commander let out a short, sharp cry of alarm.

The light Devoured everything.

The hull of the Border-class Cruiser was pierced by the Light Lance, triggering a series of explosions.

The remaining Feng Qi ships were either quickly destroyed or attempted to warp away, only to be caught and destroyed by the Blood Angels' Intercept fire.

Sanguinius stood on the Bridge, watching the planet's surface, and seeing that the Orbital Fleet had been cleared, he spoke.

"Clear the remaining orbital enemies. Bomber squadrons, proceed with the plan to eliminate ground threats. All landing forces, drop immediately. In the name of the Emperor, save the innocent and purify the oppressors."

"By the blood of Sanguinius!"

A fanatical response rang out from the Blood Angels Space Marines on the Bridge.

Drop Pod after Drop Pod detached from the Mother Ship, trailing exhaust plumes as they broke through the thick dust clouds of Longyou Shuangzixing and plummeted toward the devastated land without hesitation.
