In the void, nine silver light beams directly penetrated the entire fleet formation and blasted a huge hole.
Tens of millions of battleships were turned into cosmic dust in this terrifying attack, including Scarter's flagship.
The entire space seemed to have stagnated because of this attack.
"Commander, the main cannon attack is complete. The enemy's flagship has been confirmed destroyed!"
"How long will it take for the Netherworld Fleet to arrive?"
"About 97 minutes!"
"Okay, continue to let the Netherworld Fleet continue to reinforce the outer defense line. Our mission is to create a safe landing zone for the fleet. The attack will be completed by the second-echelon Moi Joint Fleet!"
"Yes, Commander!"
-----
The loss of the flagship's signal caused the entire fleet to fall into chaos. Even the formation began to gradually become chaotic, and for a time, they could not even launch an effective counterattack.
It was not until the commander of a sub-fleet took over the command that the situation finally stabilized.
However, it was clear that the commander of a B Squadron with a hundred million warships didn't have the ability to command a large fleet of ten billion warships. Even if the situation was better, it was still much worse than when Scarter had commanded it, so the fleet's combat strength was greatly reduced.
As the number of battleships from the Netherworld Fleet increased, the loss of the fleet also rapidly increased.
Finally, after about half an hour, even the number of battleships was completely overtaken by the Netherworld Fleet. Defeated …
It happened in an instant!
Wang Hai did not arrange for the fleet to pursue, but began to build a defensive line. After all, the remaining nine Zilun Empire's fleet, a total of 90 billion battleships, were on the way, and in at most five minutes, the two sides would exchange fire.
Therefore, Wang Hai did not have the time to chase after a defeated fleet. Instead, he had to use these five minutes to build a relatively perfect defensive line to deal with the impact of the Zilun Empire's army.
When Wang Hai did not notice, a shuttle was rapidly ascending from the capital planet of the Zilun Empire, and on the orbit, a magnificent battleship and an escort composed of one million battleships were already waiting there.
However, even if Wang Hai noticed, it was useless.
After all, the distance was there, and with the existence of the hyperspace interference device, even if Wang Hai wanted to intercept, he was doomed to be powerless.
Soon, the other nine Empire's fleet had arrived at the 5AU area of the Netherworld Fleet's defensive line.
Both sides acted as if they had agreed on this beforehand and immediately started fighting.
However, even if they had the advantage of numbers, they were powerless in the face of tens of billions of Dark Energy Envoys, who were at least Rank Seven and could exert Rank Nine combat strength.
The one-way Dark Energy Absolute Barrier was simply too powerful.
Not to mention the Zilun Empire, even the White Tiger Empire, which was at the peak of the tenth level, couldn't afford so many high-level dark energy users to build such a terrifying fleet.
Although they relied on numbers, the nine Guards Squadrons were able to hold on and fight back and forth.
However, anyone who looked at it would understand that the final defeat was only a matter of time. The casualty ratio was one to one thousand, okay?
"How's the preparation of the planetary bomb?"
As soon as he entered the bridge of his personal ride, Latis asked loudly.
"Your Majesty, it will take about an hour to complete the preparations!"
"Tell them to speed up. At the same time, send an order to the fleet. Hold on for an hour even if it costs them their lives!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Also, have the reinforcements from the surrounding garrison towns set off?"
"They have set off, but even the closest one, HAL, will only arrive in about half an hour. They should be able to make it in time and provide powerful reinforcements to the fleet in battle!"
"No, let all the reinforcements gather at Kanse and set off after the Imperial Capital is detonated. We'll catch the humans off guard!"
"Your Majesty, in this case, the fleet will …"
"The Empire will remember their sacrifice!"
Without waiting for the military minister to finish, Latis rudely interrupted him and said expressionlessly.
"I understand, Your Majesty!"
Nodding his head, the military minister acknowledged the order and left.
The fleet that was fighting on the frontline didn't even know that they had been abandoned!
-----
Unknowingly, the two sides on the battlefield had been fighting for more than half an hour.
As the fleets continued to arrive through the black passage, the defensive line formed by the Netherworld Fleet now had more than 20 billion Netherworld Battleships, and their firepower had doubled.
On the other hand, the fleet suffered heavy losses. Their battle losses had even reached 40 billion, which was close to half of their initial full strength.
Almost every second, at least thousands of battleships were destroyed. The entire battlefield was like a meat grinder, quickly tearing the originally huge fleet apart.
Of course, Wang Hai's side was not having a good time either.
No matter what, the Zi Lun Empire was still a Level Ten technological civilization, even if it was only a Level Ten technological civilization.
Perhaps whether it was in terms of attack or defense, there was a huge gap between them and the Netherworld Fleet. However, this did not mean that they were completely unable to destroy the Netherworld Battleships.
The one-way Dark Energy Absolute Barrier was indeed very powerful, but it was not invincible. If it was attacked too many times at the same time, it would also be shattered.
Tens of thousands of battleships had to be pushed back because they had lost their combat power. Fortunately, most of the battleships avoided the fate of being directly destroyed because of their powerful defense. Therefore, the loss of personnel was not as high as the loss of battleships.
However, this was definitely the largest number of casualties since the establishment of the Netherworld Fleet.
"Commander, the main cannon has been charged and can be fired again!"
"Good, immediately mark the positions of the enemy's nine flagships. Each combat team member is responsible for one flagship and attack at the same time!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Soon, the formation of the Netherworld Fleet on the defensive line began to change. The battleships located in the nine attack lines began to move and the battleships began to evade.
A minute later, as the nine silver-white light beams once again crossed the void, the Netherworld Fleet, which was on the verge of collapse, had their remaining will to fight disintegrated.
Even if the battle was not over yet, it was basically announced in advance that the Capital Planet of the Zi Lun Empire …
Had fallen!
The Emperor had fled, the high-ranking fleet commanders had all died in battle, and the remaining 40 billion battleships had no will to fight.
Finally, after a few minutes, the last combat power in the Capital Ring collapsed …
All the battleships fled in all directions, and the scene was chaotic.
"Commander, the scan of the Capital Planet of the Zi Lun Empire has detected abnormal energy in the core!"
"Core?"
"Yes, and this abnormality is extremely abnormal. It should be man-made. If this continues, it will reach the critical point that the planet can withstand in 15 minutes!"
"What will happen after the critical point?"
"It will explode. All the energy in the core of a large planet will be enough to destroy everything within 100 AU!"
Hearing this, Wang Hai became more serious.
This was not a joke!
The location of the black cavity channel was less than 80 AU away from the Capital Planet of the Zi Lun Empire. It was completely within the range of the channel.
The black cavity channel could not temporarily change its connection location, and the fleet that had already arrived could not escape from this range by relying on sub-light speed within 10 minutes.
"How ruthless!"
