Urban God-level Youth
Chapter 898 - 898 The Battle Begins

The fleets of the two great empires started to move, all under Qin Hao's surveillance.

Although they activated their counter-reconnaissance systems, there was a significant technological gap, and they couldn't prevent Qin Hao's reconnaissance.

The speed of the fleets of the two great empires was not fast; they were also wary, observing their surroundings to guard against Qin Hao's sudden ambush.

Even though the monitoring systems failed, their warships had complete maps, knowing how many planets and what kind of planets were ahead, and where the Galaxy Fleet was most likely to be hiding.

All warships entered wartime preparedness status. With just one order, thousands of warships could release over ten thousand shells, which was enough to turn a planet to dust.

Although they hadn't yet spotted the Galaxy Fleet, as soon as the enemy fired, their position would be exposed, and they would be locked onto immediately.

This way, the two great empires' fleets were on the defensive; however, they weren't too worried because their warships had energy shield defense systems, providing ample reaction time.

Unless the opponent's firepower was intense, there wouldn't be much impact.

After they traveled twenty miles, Chang Jing turned to Qin Hao, "Shall we make a move?"

"Wait a little longer." Qin Hao's eyes were fixed on the screen, his gaze bright and deep.

At this moment, the fleets of the two great empires also stopped. A general from the Nolan Empire fleet said, "Shall we test fire a shot?"

The general from the Sky Wolf Empire nodded slightly, "There is a planet in the forward left called Sky Sun Star. It is the largest planet nearby and highly likely to hide warships. Since they won't come out from the dark, let's draw the snake out of its hole."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

Beams of light illuminated from thousands of warships, flying directly towards Sky Sun Star not far away.

The beam energy cannons reached Sky Sun Star in a matter of seconds, enveloping it in thousands of lights, as dazzling as a sun.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Explosions erupted continuously on the surface of Sky Sun Star, with nearly the entire planet engulfed in war turmoil, but the planet had already been evacuated by now.

Because Qin Hao had already foreseen this scene, everyone on nearby dozens of planets had been relocated by Qin Hao to planets near Silver Star.

Li Qingya and her sister, Fan Ruobing, and Li Moying had already returned to Silver Star.

In just tens of seconds, the entire Sky Sun Star was leveled, with no trace of cities left, just ruins.

After the fleets of the two great empires finished firing, they began to slowly advance again. When they reached fifty star miles, their speed slowed even more, their vigilance at its peak.

At this moment, Qin Hao said in a calm tone, "All star destroyer cannons, warships, prepare."

A few seconds later, a cold light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, "Fire."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

Along the borders of the Galaxy Federation Republic, countless asteroids blossomed with brilliant light, beams soaring into the sky, flying at light speed towards the fleets of the two great empires not far away.

More than three thousand warships nearby also fired their beam energy cannons.

Tens of thousands of beam energy cannons were aimed at the fleets of the two great empires.

As soon as the beam energy cannons were fired, the fleets of the two great empires detected energy fluctuations, countless red dots appearing on the display screens, indicating the firing positions.

"Activate energy defense shields."

Instantly, energy shield defense systems were activated on every warship, revealing clear energy shields.

The overwhelming energy cannons rained down, landing on the energy shields of these warships.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Explosions echoed nonstop, and the powerful energy waves caused ripples to spread across the energy shields of the two great empires' warships.

Especially when the large star destroyer cannon hit, it directly reduced the defense system of the energy shield by more than half.

Many people's expressions changed dramatically, "What the heck is this?"

"Crack, crack"

Some warships' energy shields didn't last more than ten seconds and shattered instantly, energy cannons striking the warships, igniting blazes, and many warships were directly destroyed.

The large star destroyer cannon's power was immense; a single shot was enough to consume over half of the energy in a warship's energy shield.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

Before one wave settled, the star destroyer cannon released a second wave of artillery. Qin Hao had plenty of energy stones to supply these large star destroyer cannons for attacks.

After this attack, all star destroyer cannons moved on their own, leaving their original positions and hiding tens of miles away in another location.

Because by this point, the warships of the two great empires began to counterattack.

Their firepower was equally fierce, with nearly a hundred star destroyer cannons being blown to pieces due to not retreating in time.

Having changed positions, the warships of the two great empires couldn't locate the new positions of the star destroyer cannons unless they fired again. If another round of star destroyer cannons came, their energy shields would be near their limit.

After changing positions, the star destroyer cannons fired again, while Qin Hao's warships also opened fire. Although the enemy's warships retaliated, they were all blocked by energy shields.

After seven or eight minutes of confrontation, the fleets of the two great empires had lost over eighteen hundred warships, and the energy shields of the remaining warships had all been destroyed.

By then, more than half of the star destroyer cannons had been destroyed, though the warships hadn't suffered much loss.

The fleets of the two great empires had charged forth, the Galaxy Fleet moved to intercept, and a large number of mechanical soldiers were secretly causing havoc.

Do not underestimate the destructive power of mechanical soldiers; B-grade mecha made them more agile, able to easily infiltrate warships and destroy command systems.

The distance between the two sides' warships grew shorter until they finally stopped at thirty star miles, simultaneously opening fire at each other.

The Shadow Guards darted forward at superluminal speed, initiating decapitation actions against the fleets of the two great empires.

Virtually nothing could stop the Shadow Guards' movements, swift as thunder, killing silently.

Nearly a thousand mechanical soldiers flooded the battlefield, with two Shadow Guards per warship. In under twenty seconds, that warship would fall silent.

A mechanical soldier of equal grade could completely destroy a warship of the same grade, not to mention that Qin Hao's mechas were B-grade.

The combat strength of B-grade mechas was the first and last time the generals of the two great empires ever witnessed it.

Even with nearly a hundred D-grade mechanical soldiers, they couldn't withstand the assassination by the Shadow Guards, as the Shadow Guards' speed was too fast. A single sword sweep ended the D-grade mechanical soldiers, slicing them in half with no chance to resist.

Within seven or eight minutes, more than thirty-seven hundred warships of the two great empires remained but were all silent, everyone onboard had been slaughtered by the mechanical soldiers.

Qin Hao's side lost about five hundred warships, but he captured nearly four thousand, and though many star destroyer cannons were lost, the battle reaped more rewards.

The fleets of the two great empires were entirely annihilated, over six thousand warships, nearly four thousand captured, considerably bolstering Qin Hao's power.
