Following Dominic's command, the Imperial Fleet immediately changed formation.

The James Tong and three Mars-class Battlecruisers formed a pincer formation, charging at the very front.

Twenty-odd cruisers and fifty escort ships were distributed on both sides and the rear of the spearhead, forming a tight protective circle.

The entire fleet was like a sharp dagger, thrusting straight at the Green Skin defensive line.

"Open fire!"

With a single order from Dominic, the James Tong's three main Light Spears fired simultaneously.

Three dazzling white beams tore through the pitch-black space, instantly striking the foremost Green Skin warship.

That Green Skin warship didn't even have time to react before it was directly pierced through the hull by the Light Spears.

A massive explosion bloomed in space, and the Green Skin warship was instantly blown into countless fragments.

Immediately after, the three battlecruisers' Nova Cannons also fired simultaneously.

Astonishingly powerful main cannon shells smashed into the Green Skin fleet, piercing through over a dozen small Green Skin warships in succession, then igniting raging fires.

The Green Skin fleet clearly hadn't expected the Imperial Fleet to be so ferocious, actually concentrating forces to launch a charge directly.

They instantly fell into chaos, hurriedly turning their cannon mouths to fire at the Imperial Fleet.

But their firepower was too scattered, and most Green Skin warships were too far from the Imperial Fleet to inflict effective damage at all.

Sporadic cannon fire hit the James Tong's Void Shield, only stirring up ripples, unable to even penetrate the Void Shield.

Left with no choice, they could only spend time hurriedly moving to encircle the human fleet.

Just as Lin En expected, the Green Skins' technology had a fatal defect in the early-to-mid stages.

Their warship quality was uneven; some focused on defense and firepower but were extremely slow, crawling like turtles.

Some focused on mobility, extremely fast, yet fragile beyond measure — a few Macro Cannon shots could sink them.

They always fought by relying on numbers to win, relying on dense masses of warships to swarm forward and drown the enemy.

But now, they had scattered their own formation, effectively giving the Imperial Fleet a mad opportunity to create local "one-on-one" situations.

The Imperial Fleet only needed to face a few or a dozen Green Skin warships at a time, no longer needing to face siege by enemies several times their number.

The James Tong and three battlecruisers advanced irresistibly all the way, like cutting melons and vegetables, continuously sinking the Green Skin warships blocking the front.

The surrounding cruisers and escort ships also went full firepower, shooting down all Green Skin small warships and fighters attempting to approach.

The Green Skin defensive line was like paper, easily torn open with a huge gap by the Imperial Fleet.

When Green Skin warships in other directions realized something was wrong and turned to pounce on the Imperial Fleet, it was already too late.

They were too far from the Imperial Fleet; by the time they arrived, the Imperial Fleet had long since broken through to deeper regions.

Moreover, on their way over, they continuously suffered harassment and interception from Imperial escort ships, taking heavy losses.

In just under two hours, the Imperial Fleet completely broke through the Green Skin orbital defense line, successfully arriving above Dolido Planet.

"Great, we succeeded!"

On the James Tong's bridge, the officers' emotions soared.

Dominic also let out a breath of relief, a smile appearing on his face.

Step one, succeeded.

"Order all warships, according to predetermined targets, begin bombardment!" Dominic ordered loudly.

"Prioritize bombing landmark buildings, the starport, Technical Overlord Workshops, and mushroom fields — do not spare firepower!"

"Yes, Adult!"

Following Dominic's command, aside from the warships standing guard around the perimeter, all Imperial warships opened fire simultaneously.

Countless beams and shells began smashing toward Dolido Planet's surface.

Huge explosions rang out continuously, the earth trembling, the sky dyed red by firelight.

One Green Skin building after another collapsed in the cannon fire, one mushroom field after another burned to ash.

Bearing the brunt was Lianggenna's Big Pot City.

Big Pot City was the largest Green Skin city on Dolido Planet, and also Lianggenna's lair.

Its scale was the largest, its buildings the tallest, and it was the most conspicuous.

Countless cannon fire concentrated above Big Pot City, turning the entire city into a sea of fire.

……

At this moment, in the underground command center beneath Big Pot City.

Lianggenna was with Yaduoduo and over a dozen War Bosses, gathered around a table, discussing the next ambush plan.

"When those shrimp run out of ammo, we'll charge out from all directions and surround them completely!"

Lianggenna said excitedly, waving the big spoon in his hand through the air.

"I'll personally throw that one-armed shrimp Noble into the big pot and stew him into a Stew Pot!"

"Right, stew all the shrimp into Stew Pot!" The surrounding War Bosses also cheered along.

Just then, the entire underground command center suddenly shook violently.

Dust fell rustling from overhead, the large bowls on the table toppled onto the floor, Stew Pot spilling everywhere.

"What's going on? An earthquake?" Lianggenna frowned, saying discontentedly.

Before his words had even fallen, a Green Skin communication soldier came scrambling in, his face full of terror:

"B-Big Boss, it's bad!"

"Shrimp's fleet has attacked! They've already reached the skies above Dolido and are bombing the surface."

"What?!"

Lianggenna sprang to his feet, staring at that communication soldier in disbelief.

"Impossible, where is our fleet?"

"Wasn't our fleet intercepting them outside? How did they break in this fast!"

"Our fleet was scattered!" the communication soldier said with a wailing face.

"Shrimp's fleet is too insidious; they concentrated all firepower and charged straight in one direction — our warships simply couldn't stop them!"

Lianggenna's face instantly turned iron-green.

He whipped his head around, staring dead at Yaduoduo, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins and rage.

"Yaduoduo!"

Lianggenna let out a furious roar, the waaagh force field around him surging instantly, green radiance filling the entire underground command center.

"You dare play me! Didn't you say those Shrimp would be tied down by our dispersed formation? How did they charge straight in?"

"I'll kill you!"

Red-eyed, Lianggenna spoke and then lunged fiercely at Yaduoduo.

His massive palm, carrying a whistling wind, clawed viciously at Yaduoduo.

The surrounding bodyguards also raised their weapons one after another, closing in on Yaduoduo.

Although Yaduoduo had now grown as tall as an ordinary Green Skin kid, before the four-meter-plus Lianggenna he still appeared extremely slight.

But his reaction was abnormally agile.

He merely tilted his body lightly and dodged Lianggenna's grab.

Then he slid his feet, like a loach, slipping between two bodyguards.

"Don't be angry, Big Boss, don't be angry!" Yaduoduo shouted loudly as he ran.

"This is just an accident; the first step failed, but we still have a follow-up! We still have a follow-up! Did you forget?"

Lianggenna lunged into empty air, growing even angrier.

He turned around and lunged at Yaduoduo again:

"Follow-up? What follow-up?! If you can't explain yourself today, I'll mince you into meat paste and feed you to Squig!"

Yaduoduo nimbly shuttled between tables and chairs; although Lianggenna and several bodyguards were many, for a time they actually couldn't catch him.

As he ran, he turned his head back and shouted at Lianggenna:

"Big Boss, I anticipated this situation long ago!"

"I really do have a follow-up, one that will let all Shrimp come but never return!"

Lianggenna halted his steps, panting heavily, staring dead at Yaduoduo.

His chest heaved violently, his eyes full of killing intent.

"Fine, I'll trust you one more time."

Lianggenna gritted his teeth and said: "Speak, what follow-up?"
