My empire of stars

"Follow! Kill them!" Seeing the two Empire's dreadnoughts jumping into hyperspace, the commanders of the two Corruptor fleets shouted angrily. They were already blinded by anger.

"No sir, we are affected by the gravity well generated by that huge ball and cannot make the jump!" the Corruptor officer in charge of the jump said in frustration.

"Drive forward until you can jump into hyperspace!" The Corruptor Commander sighed. If the Imperial Fleet was given enough time to react, he was worried that the Imperial Fleet would lay a trap on the other side.

But now they can't jump into hyperspace, let alone give up the encirclement and suppression of the two Imperial dreadnoughts.

Unlike the two Imperial dreadnoughts that had achieved astonishing results, the space fortress that the Empire had just completed was on the inevitable route from the Corruptor Star Territory to the Imperial Star Territory and was in a bitter battle.

From the Corruptor Fourth Fleet to the Fifth Fleet to the Eighth Fleet, the Corruptor Expeditionary Fleet consisting of five fleets arrived in front of the Empire's space fortress.

Although relying on the thick shield of the fortress, the fortress group has withstood the first salvo of the Corruptor expedition fleet.

However, the bottomed out shield margin showed that if the Corruptor expeditionary fleet fired another salvo, the empire's fortress groups might lose the protection of the shield and be directly exposed to the Corruptor's artillery shells.

Seizing the time when the Corruptor battleship's main gun was charging (there was no secondary gun, just one main gun), the Empire's space fortress fired wildly at the Corruptor fleet, completely ignoring the loss of weapons.

This kind of high-intensity non-cooling shooting greatly reduces the service life of the weapon, not even reaching one percent of the design life, but so what.

Who knows if these weapons will be needed after the next salvo of the Corruptor fleet. Maybe the fortress group will have been destroyed by then.

While the fixed fort on the fortress was firing wildly, the staff in the fortress had already boarded the evacuation spacecraft and flew towards the next fort group.

These fortress groups are the empire's defense lines one after another. What the Corruptors are already attacking is the first line of defense temporarily built by the empire.

After the first line of defense, there is a second line of defense that takes longer to build and is more complete.

After the second line of defense is the third line of defense, which takes the longest time to build and consumes the most resources. It is also the last line of defense of the empire. It is also the location of the material transmission transfer station.

If this third line of defense is breached, it will not only mean that the empire's homeland is like a piece of fat in front of hungry wolves, but it also means that the empire's fleet that penetrates deep into the territory of the Corruptors will lose its ability to supply.

Without the supply capacity, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet could only survive for three years with supplies, and the ammunition could only support two medium-intensity battles.

It can be said that whether the last line of defense falls or not represents the empire's victory or defeat in this war.

"Your Majesty, the Corruptor's fleet has reached our first line of defense. Although the fortresses on the first line of defense have tried their best to resist, the Corruptor's expeditionary fleet is too powerful."

"Our first line of defense can only hold on for one more day at most." Tianyi came to Li Mingze with a somewhat ugly expression.

"The first line of defense can last for one day. The journey from the first line of defense to the second line of defense takes six days. So how long can the second line of defense last?" Li Mingze's face also looked a little ugly.

"The number of fortresses on our second line of defense has doubled that of the first line of defense. Coupled with the Corruptor battleships destroyed by the first line of defense, the second line of defense can last a little more than two days." Tianyi closed his eyes. He answered after calculating for half a second.

"Two days for the second line of defense plus the previous seven days, that's nine days, and the journey from the second line of defense to the third line of defense also takes six days! How long can our third line of defense last?" Li Mingze's expression Already somewhat darkened.

"Our third line of defense is the most complete and has the largest number of fortresses. It is also equipped with fighter planes and unmanned turrets. However, even so, it can only last for four days at most." Tianyi shook his head and said.

"The four days of the third line of defense plus the previous fifteen days, we have nineteen days, and it will take nearly twenty days for the third line of defense to reach the Imperial Star Territory."

"That means we only have thirty-nine days at most! And the best time is nineteen days." Li Mingze frowned with his eyes closed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but it will still take fifteen days for us to reach the Corruptor's capital area from our current location, and this is without any fighting on the way!" Tianyi nodded.

"We continue to circle around with the Corruptor's two encirclement and suppression fleets, and order the second detachment to move forward at full speed immediately and break into the Corruptor's capital circle!" Li Mingze ordered to Tianyi.

Tianyi nodded, controlled the dreadnought to jump out of hyperspace, and flew in another direction.

At this time, there were still eighteen days left before the fall of the third line of defense.

The Empire's second squadron fleet was speeding towards the star system, the capital of the Corruptor Civilization, through the blind spot marked by Leith.

Although Leith wanted to use the Corruptor's encirclement and suppression fleet to weaken the Imperial Fleet, he did not want to kill the Imperial Fleet, so the route given was quite reliable.

The Second Squadron fleet did not encounter any manned administrative stars or space fortresses along the way.

The two imperial dreadnoughts on the other side began to circle around with the two encirclement and suppression fleets that followed closely.

Because he was worried about exposing another fleet on the way, Li Mingze ordered the two fleets not to fire, but to run away, not even killing a chicken along the way.

Only by suddenly surprising the Corruptor's capital could the effect Li Mingze wanted be achieved.

There are still twelve days left before the third line of defense is destroyed.

The Corruptor's expedition fleet has easily destroyed the fortress group of the empire's first line of defense and arrived outside the second line of defense.

Although this line of defense requires more than twice as many space fortresses as the first line of defense, this is not a problem for the extremely large Corruptor expedition fleet.

You have more forts, and we have more fleets and warships. If the quality cannot match ours, we will fight for quantity. This is the Corruptor's tactic.

Regardless of the number of Imperial Fortresses, countless Corruptor warships can surround the Imperial Fortresses from all directions.

Attack the imperial fortresses from 360 degrees without blind spots.

The surrounded imperial fortress could only shoot randomly in all directions. Anyway, the surroundings were densely packed with Corruptor warships. A few of them could be killed with just one sweep, and not a single shot would miss.

Similarly, the destructive power of a large number of Corruptor warships is also very considerable.
