"What?!"

The spoon in Lianggenna's hand went "clang" as it fell onto the Big Pot Throne, greasy soup splashing all over him.

He writhing fiercely, straightened his spine, his round body trembling slightly from shock, his beady eyes fixed dead on the blinding radiance outside the porthole.

Those weren't stars.

It was the light of death emitted by hundreds of macro cannons charging up.

Ice-cold, blinding, carrying the breath of destruction.

"Bad news, Big Boss! Detected massive high-energy reactions, distance to our fleet thirty thousand kilometers!"

"Goff Clan vanguard fleet under attack, catastrophic damage!"

The Death Skull Tech Boss's shrill, grating announcements kept echoing through the Jian Qia; the originally rowdy Green Skins fell instantly silent, every gaze turning to the Main Screen.

On the screen, the once unstoppable Goff Clan Iron Lump warships were now suffering devastating strikes.

Streaks of azure Light Spears, like the swords of gods, shot forth from behind Kal II, precisely striking the thickest rams of the Goff warships.

Those precision-forged rams that could tank simultaneous bombardment from three Imperial cruisers, even shatter asteroids.

Under the Light Spears' judgment, they actually melted and snapped like butter meeting a red-hot knife.

Heavy armor plates burned cherry-red, then peeled off in great sheets.

The Scrap Pots inside the hulls were ignited, thick grease catching fire all around, triggering violent sympathetic detonations.

A massive fireball bloomed in the universe, lighting the surrounding darkness like broad daylight.

In just a single salvo, the Goff Clan lost the "Hard Strike" they prided themselves on.

"This... this is impossible!"

A Goff Big Guy cried out in disbelief, his face written with incredulity.

"How can those shrimps' Light Spears reach this far? How can they be this powerful?!"

Lianggenna's face also turned unspeakably ugly.

He'd been mixing in the Calixis Star System for years, had plenty of dealings with shrimp fleets.

But he'd never seen Light Spears this far, this fierce.

Thirty thousand kilometers!

That's already double the range of a cruiser's main cannon!

Moreover, the firepower of that salvo just now was simply more terrifying than any Imperial warship he'd ever seen.

"Big Boss, what do we do? Should we retreat?" a Blood Axe Big Guy skilled at reading the wind asked tremblingly.

"Retreat?!" Lianggenna whipped his head around, glaring at him viciously.

"Retreat my ass! If we retreat now, our backs are fully exposed to them!"

"They'll swarm our rear like a pack of hyenas, madly attacking our backside, gutting us!"

Though Lianggenna looked simple, his brain wasn't stupid at all.

He knew full well the fleet was currently charging at full speed, formation already fully deployed.

If he ordered a turnabout now, chaos was inevitable.

Then the enemy would just chase from behind and shoot, white-whaling tons of damage for free.

"All of you listen up!" Lianggenna clenched his fist and roared.

"Just a few dozen broken ships more, while we have over a hundred warships."

"Three digits versus two digits, advantage is mine!"

"Keep charging, charge me right up, close-range combat, ram their ships to pieces, chop those shrimps into mincemeat, boil them into stew!"

"Waaaaagh!!!"

Lianggenna's prestige among the Duo Duo Lv Pi was supreme.

【45】 "Waaaaagh!!!"

【46】 Lianggenna's prestige among the Duo Duo Lv Pi was supreme.

Moreover, the Calixis Star System's biggest thorn Iron Pliers Chandler was already dead on Kal II, so now even fewer dared question Lianggenna's decisions.

All the Green Skin Big Guys raised their weapons, screaming madly.

The originally somewhat panicked Green Skins instantly turned bloodthirsty and berserk.

The Green Skin Fleet didn't slow in the slightest; on the contrary, it accelerated toward Kal II.

But Lianggenna soon paid a grievous price for his decision.

That heaven-shattering, earth-destroying salvo of Light Spears just now was actually just one warship's firepower.

That's right, only one.

From that Victory-class Battleship painted dark gold and wine red, the James Tong.

Only the James Tong, personally refitted by the Mars Mechanicus Great Sage, mounting three latest-model "Skyfire" Heavy Light Spears.

Could launch such a precise and lethal strike at thirty thousand kilometers.

When the Green Skin Fleet closed to ten thousand kilometers of Kal II, they finally entered the Human Fleet's full attack envelope.

The true Death Skull unfolded!

"These damn trash, daring to lay hands on human territory."

"All ships, by the Emperor's command, unleash your fury!!!"

On the bridge of the James Tong, Dominic set down the wine cup in his hand.

He raised his hand and waved his sword, issuing the command in a rousing tone.

In his brows and eyes lay a towering killing intent toward the Xenos!

"Yes, Adult!"

At Dominic's single command, the fifty-two macro-cannons on one broadside of the James Tong roared in unison.

From the moment they were forged, they were granted the right to slay every enemy of the Emperor!

The caliber of each macro-cannon exceeded forty meters, firing armor-piercing explosive shells weighing hundreds of tons.

At the same time, three Mars-class Battlecruisers and seven Cruisers also followed the James Tong in unleashing lethal shells.

In Space, with no air resistance, the shells reached an astonishing speed of one thousand kilometers per second.

A Green Skin Killing Cruiser had just tried to turn and evade when it was struck precisely by an armor-piercing shell.

The tremendous impact force directly drove the cruiser's shields to overload.

Immediately after, several Light Spears struck the cruiser's exposed hull simultaneously, and the violent explosion directly blew the entire cruiser in half at the waist.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The macro-cannons of over a dozen Capital Ships fired in salvo, forming an impenetrable firepower net.

Every salvo destroyed at least one Green Skin Cruiser, along with several Green Skin Escort Ships.

Those warships that seemed impregnable to the Green Skins were as fragile as paper paste before the Tithe Fleet's overwhelming firepower.

The three Mars-class Battlecruisers also continued to play their role.

While waiting for their main cannons to cool, they opened their Carrier-based Aircraft hangars.

Thousands of small, nimble Guided Craft swarmed out like a bee swarm.

These Guided Craft carried no powerful weapons, only some chaff and decoys.

But their speed was extremely fast, their maneuverability extremely high.

Their target was the Evil Sun Clan fleet on the flank.

The Evil Sun's Green Skin Boys were renowned for speed and fanaticism to begin with.

Seeing these small Guided Craft, they instantly went wild like sparrows spotting flying insects, their eyes turning red.

"Chase! Chase them down for me, shoot them all down!"

The Evil Sun's Big Guy shouted and was the first to pilot his Fighter charging in.

All Evil Sun Fighters abandoned their original sneak-attack mission and swarmed after the Guided Craft in a mob.

The Guided Craft remained unhurried, luring the Evil Sun Fighters in circles through the Xiao Xing Tai Dai.

Relying on those temporary fortresses not yet completely destroyed, they constantly changed direction.

From time to time they fired a few chaff rounds, disrupting the Evil Sun Fighters' vision.

The Evil Sun's boys were played for fools, running in circles, screaming in rage, yet repeatedly coming up empty in the Xiao Xing Tai Dai.

Occasionally a few Fighters carelessly strayed near a temporary fortress's encirclement and were instantly blasted into fireballs by the fortress's crossfire.

The Evil Sun Clan fleet originally tasked with raiding the flank was thus pinned down by a few thousand Guided Craft.

They forgot the mission Lianggenna had originally assigned them — to harass the human Capital Ships.
