Him and their stars

The first to enter Gibraltar β was indeed not the Empire's small and medium-sized warships.

When this fierce silver oval UFO roared out from the silver vortex core of the stargate, it really scared the defenders. Even the veterans of the Outer Rim Fleet, who had experienced many battles and had a wide range of knowledge, couldn't help but say that they had never seen such an abstract thing.

"So, what the hell is this?"

"Bombs?"

"What kind of track can launch such a big shell? Lay a track as long as the Ring of Miracles?"

"Or is it an oversized assault landing craft?"

"The reconnaissance team said that this thing was towed by a transport ship?"

"So those engines were installed on the spot? Is this the Empire's style?"

"Yeah, it's too plundering, isn't it?"

"There must be a conspiracy! Since it is the operation of the Empire devil, the conspiracy is a foregone conclusion!"

The above conversations full of doubts and surprises flowed in the communication channel. Marshal Bonaparte also felt that the situation was filled with evil spirits, but he still suppressed his surprise and gave the order to fire.

In an instant, the surging destructive beams set off a storm, instantly submerging the silver giant still swaying in the starry sky into the violent energy torrent.

However, in the strong light, the outline of the strange flying object remained stable, still moving forward, still expanding, and even becoming clearer and clearer.

Facing the storm caused by the bombardment of the outer ring fleet, it was never shaken.

This aircraft, which was shining with silver light and seemed to be made of a whole giant piece of metal, strode through the star gate with its head held high, despite the intensive shooting of the arsenal ship and the turret.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"Are all the Empire's assault landing craft monsters?"

"Stupid, do you still think this is an assault landing craft?"

"Fire! Fire! Stop it!"

"It's still moving!"

The soldiers of the Outer Ring Fleet felt that they were clearly using low-power and small-caliber security ray guns to chisel the iceberg. However, if this iceberg could hit them at a speed sub-light, the scene would suddenly become terrifying.

However, after all, it is the only group in the entire community that can still be regarded as a "strong army". Even if a large number of veterans have been added to the fortress, there are still many talents left. Soon, the technical department, despite the shock in their hearts, accurately analyzed the forward trajectory of this huge fortress and quickly reported it to Marshal Bonaparte.

"So, it is coming for the Gibraltar Fortress?" Marshal Bonaparte asked.

"It's certain! If this UFO keeps moving at its current speed, it will hit our fortress in about 40 minutes. Moreover, with our current artillery power, it cannot have a repelling effect on it." The technician called up his own analysis chart, with a hint of fear in his voice, but overall he was calm and articulate.

"This thing may be solid." Another staff officer replied: "Based on the force field data generated when it passed through the star gate just now... This thing is at least 1,000 megatons."

The staff officer's voice was full of disbelief, but after all, this was the result of more than five tests with various instruments, so he couldn't help but believe it.

Since it is solid and a super iron lump of more than a megaton, it is completely understandable that it cannot be hit for a while.

You know, before the outbreak of the war, the Gibraltar Fortress was the only space fortress in the entire community that could be regarded as the Skyfortress level. Even now, it has been expanded for several rounds, but no one thinks that their shields and armor can withstand such a large-scale collision.

As for the possibility of getting close and using the fortress cannon to kill it, everyone was even more afraid to gamble.

All the veterans said that they had traveled the galaxy for a lifetime, but they had never seen such a large solid iron lump. What material it is made of, how hard it is, and how temperature resistant it is, it is completely impossible to say.

"Solid, that is to say, the cockpit was not found?" asked the chief of staff.

"We are looking for it, but from the track, it is more like automatic driving." The observation department quickly answered.

Marshal Bonaparte pondered for a moment, and then found a problem: "That is to say, this thing should have been launched from behind the star gate. The Imperial Army had already determined the location of the fortress before passing through the star gate."

The chief of staff sighed: "Before the war broke out, there were scientific research stations of the Empire and the Alliance on both sides of the star gate. But who can guarantee that they are just investigating the star gate?"

This is a historical legacy, and it is still a problem that soldiers cannot control. Even if Marshal Bonaparte really wanted to get angry, he didn't know where to start, so he just sighed silently.

"This reminds me of the tactics used by Lieutenant General Yang Xiyi in the Battle of Devil's Throat." The Chief of Staff added, "However, the situation is completely different now compared to that time."

The Marshal nodded, "Check the power source of this thing immediately! If it is confirmed that there is an engine, focus on the bombardment first!"

There are indeed many differences between the Battle of Nantianmen and the Battle of Devil's Throat.

In the battle that determined the fate of the plunderer's "New World Empire", the Earthlings, under the cover of the coalition fleet, brought the Leviathan's insect shell to a place quite close to the Devil's Throat Fortress, and suddenly started the engine to attack, which naturally caught the plunderers off guard.

In Gibraltar, the star gate is nearly half an astronomical unit away from the fortress. As a result, the Empire's "ram" was pulled a long distance away from its intended target.

This of course gave the defending community soldiers a chance to regain their composure and fight back.

Soon, the high-power turrets and arsenal ships deployed near the star gate also began to launch thunderous bombardments. The target was derived from the front of the "ram" polished into an arc, along the middle section to the rear tail.

In fact, until this time, the community defenders had not had time to find the location of the opponent's engine, but as long as the firing rate and the impact point were balanced, they would definitely be able to hit it.

So, within just one minute, one of the engines of the 20th gun that was hit first finally showed very obvious cracks. The composite armor shell covering the engine quickly cracked, and then it took only one second to tear into a shocking wound.

Then, before the second round of volleys came, the uncontrolled energy behind the crack of the shell had turned into an ignited explosion, spreading from behind the crack, adding a bit of blood-red light to the silver oval.

So, when the first engine was completely extinguished, the collapse of the second and third engines would not be too far away.

The soldiers of the community did not notice which of the opponent's engines was really hit. However, this aircraft, which was filled with evil spirits but extremely terrifying, did stop its continuous forward movement.

It even lost its balance on the spot and turned around in a daze.

But soon, it regained its balance again, took advantage of the moving track, and rushed straight towards the turret group closest to it, gritting its teeth.

In fact, before the "ram" was launched, the Imperial Army had indeed calculated the charge angle and action track, trying to crash into the Gibraltar Fortress in one go. However, Marshal Farrell also knew that there were too many variables in a quarter of a standard astronomical unit and a flight time of more than half an hour.

They have always been the most successful war race in the universe, and it is impossible to pin all the possibilities of victory on such an extreme combat strategy.

After losing three engines and two cockpits were destroyed by stray bullets, the other death squads also reacted and quickly manually extinguished several engines under the gunfire, allowing the whole to return to calm. They adjusted the angle and found a new target-a group of high-power turrets only 100,000 kilometers away from them, and there was a row of arsenal ships beside them.

Seeing the huge ship that was as immovable as a monster crashing towards them, a group of bulky arsenal ships and guard ships fled in all directions like quails seeing their natural enemies, but their movements still seemed a bit clumsy.

However, the arsenal ship can be said to be clumsy, and it can't even do this if it stays in the original turret.

If the engine is damaged and can't hit the Gibraltar Fortress, just find a nearby valuable target, adjust the course, and hit it directly.

The above is the so-called Plan B of the Imperial Army.

Of course, even if Plan B fails, there is still the so-called Plan C.

Just when the "ram" crashed into the turret, the earth soldiers on the scene were in a panic, and the majestic imperial warship also poked its head out from behind the stargate vortex.

If it was according to Marshal Bonaparte's original plan, at this time, he could fire all his cannons and hit the opponent head-on. Even the tough and thick-skinned Imperial Titan ship would inevitably suffer heavy losses under such an impact.

His arrangements were all prepared for the main battleships of the Fire Empire.

But as I said, he was only half right after all. When the "space ram" first appeared in Gibraltar, the defense line he carefully arranged had lost its greatest significance.

When the emblem of the Vulcan Airan was completely exposed on the monitor screen of the earthlings, everything was too late. This towering Titan ship had already raised its ferocious claws like a beast entering the hunting ground.
